Hardware upgrade coming tonight

Later today I'm going to upgrade the hardware that the OPML community server is running on, basically splitting it into two machine, one for the blog hosting and directory hosting, and another for everything else. I happen to have the extra server capacity, unused, so it won't actually add anything to my monthly bill.

However, it will not be a transparent change if you're using the server to host directories with your own domain name (using the Map A Domain feature).

If you read the docs for Map A Domain, you'll see that it calls for you to map your domain to 70.85.10.34.

That will change to 67.18.151.44, when the upgrade is done, probably sometime tonight (I'll post a note on Scripting News).

I'm not posting this on support.opml.org because the server is so slow I'm concerned no one will be able to read it.

Sorry for the difficulty in this transition, however, the good news is that we should get better performance. (Fingers crossed, praise Murphy.)
