Anyone recommend a database server hardware configuration to make our site slurp-proof? It just about stops responding when Slurp comes around now, even with the crawl-delay in our robots.txt file. I don't think they do anything with that directive.

We're using Dual Xeon 2.8's with 4GB of RAM currently. 15,000 RPM drives in RAID 5. Would more CPU or more RAM be a better bet?

Brian.
