Yes. We were working on the slave db server until 1am PST and then back working on it at 6:30am. We've been working on it all day since then. In order to be proactive, we did a hardware upgrade and unfortunately around that time is when these problems escalated.

We hope. At this time, the system should be stable, but there may be some turbulence from time to time as we attempt to modify the current configuration.

Once again, this is not the regular vBulletin search and yes, search is being run from it's own server.
