Isn't the simplest option to place a decent reverse proxy between the
webserver and our clients?<br>
<br>
For example, varnish will cache and proxy simple GETs, so simple views
of the front page and docs (which I imagine is a large chunk of the
traffic) will be offloaded from the webserver:<br>

<br>
Also, is the current installation (Db, apache + trac) all on one
machine or are the DB and the webserver split already?<br>
<br>
These would be easy ways to throw more hardware at the problem. <br>
<br>
What is the current web-server configuration?<br>
Can you share traffic stats for the top 20 pages, so we get an idea of
where the load is?<br>

<pre wrap="">I'm surprised to hear that.
Usually replication of servers for read requests works well
with dns sharing.
Does Trac not run a database? that can go on another machine and
lighten the load.
Anyway, it's your call. Keep up the good work.

I think the best option may just be to collect machine, database, and
usage stats and ask the trac guys for help.
