i dont understand what you mean , anyway, this is a short term situation as the site is pretty slow and cpu intensive, the setup is a sun solaris box running apache 1.3 and php3 , just had a meeting today to push through apahe 2 and php 4.3 ut wont happen for a while , we need a solution in the next month, we basically need a system that will trawl the site or the latest news and flatten them so they are less taxing on the server as our last time cost us dearly , 170,000 hits in one day ! so would flattening to html solve our problem or is the server going to get hammered anyway ?
