<br>> read requests from there. Only write requests should go to the #1<br>> database server. I hope that this will considerably increase<br>> performance and enable us to allow larger bounding boxes and more<br>

<br>a bottleneck here as the database, if not more.<br><br>Is MySQL replication "real time" enough for this by the way? In<br>other words if I do a download from a slave is what I get going<br>to be good enough to base an upload to the master on?
</blockquote><div><br><br>Hello, looking at the munin stats, I think there are several points where the configuration of mysql and apache could be improved; is there a sys-admin mailing list for openstreetmap? Who should I talk to to get involved there? I sent two mails to steve, but they stay unanswered :(
