Except, since about that time I haven't been able to access ANY
rootsweb site. Can all of you reach it?

Today I've done the OS upgrade on the new server, and everything
seems to be working great. Barring crashes of the old server, we
will do a planned upgrade to the new server tomorrow (Monday)
morning.
As planned, Monday we brought the new server online and we resumed
full normal operations about 5pm.
Since that time we have had no problems with the new server. None.
On Tuesday we set a new record for that server, with peak output
filling more than 1.33 T1s and with that single server handling more
than a million Web hits.
The new server handled that record traffic at load factors of 1/10th
to 1/20th those that the old server was experiencing doing less work.
We won't know about long-term stability for a few more weeks, but
the initial indications are that we've hit a home run.
Thanks for your patience during two weeks of less than perfect
operation while we implemented the upgrade. Enjoy the new server, B.
