Okay.. could've been any OS with sshd... but it was ssh to the rescue.
Customer calls up complaining of multi-minute page load times.
Traceroutes show a major slow down between data center (Site A) and
customer site. The slowdown doesn't involve either party's ISP. I call
up my ISP, they say it's a known issue, but not their issue, and that
they don't have a route around it.
Hmm.. Site B <--> Site A is fast... Site B <--> Customer is fast...
Site A <--> Customer is slow (hey, wasn't the internet designed
specifically to deal with these issues... oh wait.. that's another rant).
So the obvious solution is to effectively route for the idiotic ISP with
an ssh port forward and another apache vhost.
Yay ssh..
