It is just a way to test the SF mirror under some load. We can revert these patches once the test is over, or move to something else. For example, we might have logic that sends 75% of the traffic to SF mirrors and 25% to Apache mirrors. We could adjust that with a parameter in the script and tune it based on capacity. -Rob > Marcus >
