So that would offload some of the disk usage.

Munin displays total network traffic, I think and that box hosts a
picture hosting site, a busy forum and various other stuff, so I
wouldn't trust munin on this one.

Would be easy if we could e.g. NFS mount the remote location, but as the
servers are likely to be network distant (and at least the future one at
ETH will most likely be heavily firewalled) this will not be feasible.
