Description

To alleviate load issues on MW servers, we should deploy an additional MW server to see if it will reduce issues with load. I will handle this later tonight if possible.

We don't have any available IPv4 addresses, so this may have to wait. Unless we want an MW server to be only available over IPv6. In any case, I'm not actually available for the rest of today, so this would be done tomorrow at the earliest.

I'd be interested if there's any reason they can't be ipv6 only as it's purely internal.

I have no objections to getting more though.

Main issue I can think of would be upload-by-url and similar features not working with v4-only sites. That could be solved with a http proxy (squid or similar) running on a server with a v4 address.

Declining for now, we're set to expand resources soon, but don't have the capacity to do so immediately.
