The pool server is actually a very nice machine with very good connectivity.  I won't release full/exact specs, though, as I don't want anyone to consider it a "challenge"...


Yes, but, we probably won't be disabling getwork.  We still have many miners who are happily mining away at just a few Mh/sec or so using getwork.  I see no reason to penalize them because someone doesn't configure their botnet efficiently.


Thank you for the tip!  It is greatly appreciated.

I'm actually spending the remainder of my weeking working on the "My Eligius" control panel.  Probably won't finish it, though.  I had planned to spend the majority of my free time this weekend working on it, however, but, alas, keeping the pool running was a higher priority.

Thanks everyone for your patience!

Happy mining.
