Our web host offered and I accepted to be moved onto thier fastest, newest server in the fleet (they brought 3 new servers online a couple months ago). DNS redirecting is allowing for a seemless transition BUT if you get any weird errors please let me know.
so far so good.. i have seen a slightly faster page loads but that's it.
Well you know Munin, it probably isn't much faster but I'll take any server that has less load than the last one.
