Default [Resolved] Kangaroo server load high

We've had a site on Kangaroo server appear on a major TV show, and the server is being hammered now as a result. We're watching this, but for now we have to wait this out a little, as the traffic comes down. The show just finished, so folks are hitting the site now. This will ease off shortly . . .

We seem to be through the traffic storm now. Loads back to normal.

Just for anyone who might find this interesting -

The ACA (A Current Affair) story ran, and at the end of the story they said if you wanted more information, go to the ACA site. On the ACA site was the above site's details.

The story ran at 7:21pm and finished at around 7:26pm. The server was then hammered for 15 minutes after that, and then traffic died back to pretty much normal.

So that's the traffic bump time frame from a site that gets national exposure on TV, by the look of it.
