amanoffewwords, fear not. It wasn't a fluke as such, we were just busy doing some other configuration stuff. The server load, even at peak times of day, is very low.

No, it's not a mac based server! I just won't look at PPRuNe the same way again. I've just set up an XServe. Fantastic machine. I highly reccommend it for your next upgrade. Probably worth running it through linux instead of mac OS though.
