Tempest in a Teacup

If you see a a FeedLounge User Agent in your server logs that happened to hit your server a few hundred times within the span of a minute or two, we do apologize - it was completely unintentional.

The problem was moving from one box to multiple servers, and not using ntp to synchronize the time (yet). The feed downloading box would change the time for the next download to some time it thought was in the future, but which was less than the current time on the database box.

We have synchronized the server times, and will be setting up ntp on all the boxes first thing in the morning.

Oh yeah, the new servers are installed in the data center - more on that tomorrow.
