Thanks for your answers, but I am a bit scared you (as a PMC) tell me
"they" use an account unknown to us. Who has the forum account ?

I have the technical power to change it (sudo access) but if a PMC tell we
do no know who owns it, it would not be right just to change it. Who but
the "owner" can authorize a change ?

I trust this is a misunderstanding somewhere, it cannot be that we run a
service, that we do not control, in the sense of change management.

Why do I need to subtract forum, I thought they ran as a separate dns ? do
we not count on basis of our template (that loads the GA account).

Super just what I need.

Do you know the division between mwiki, forum and www ?

Good point, that is very important for a a traffic server, where e.g.
javascripts would be cached.

I am trying to convince Infra, that we should have a common trafficserver
for wiki and forum (and maybe www). Currently we use eresbus as proxy, and
all packets are forwarded to the ooo-wiki2-vm where that trafficserver
filters cached pages. Forum goes direct to httpd, so every packet causes
mysql activity. If we had a trafficserver in eresbus, we would for wiki2
save loads of network traffic and for forum network traffic as well as
mysql activity.

I agree, but not being PMC, I do not feel I am in the position to "just"
make that change. Who "owns" the forum, they should authorize such a
change. I can make the change (provided you tell give me the GA line to
insert) when I am sure I am not doing a change that someone else depend on.

The blog post is on the general apache server and not our www, is that
correct ?

That is a real obvious case for trafficserver, and until it is in place I
can ask to have the httpd use memcached (which it might be already).
Currently the www is on a general apache server, so I need strong arguments
to make changes (high load is a strong argument)

THANKS a lot for your answer, which help me a lot doing calc.. Sorry for
being frank about the forum, but it really make me nervous that we have a
service where part it unknown.
