After a bit of downtime, both servers seem to be alive and well. I've compiled and installed everything on the new machine, and ran some tests. Now I have to reconfigure to point to the database on the old server, do some more tests, and then switch over the IPs/DNS. Based on the specs of the new server, it appears that our original plan of putting Apache on the new machine and the database on the old one is still the right plan. Moving things like Apache logs and backups onto the new disk should help.
