Do we have specs for what the needs are?
Disk space, web traffic load?

Given how much trouble we have keeping Vmap0 tiles from overloading or
resources, I'm not sure we have the capacity to serve high volumes of
tiles on the current hardware.

I'm also a little confused about what the local OSM mirrors do in
relation to the main OSM infrastructure which is well funded?

Thanks,
Alex
