That's cool, this damp piece of string could use the freed up bandwidth :)

Not separate, just separate from this server, and it's not a requirement, but my recommendation.
You can add search.postgresql.org as a vhost to any other machine(s).
Most of the time spent on searches, are spent in executing the cgi (provided of course, that the backend is fast).

Currently, I have the load spread evenly among 3 webservers (I use a reverse proxy load balancer for this), which at peak puts the load to somewhere between 3 and 4.

Also, as I was about to mention on IRC, you might want to consider porting the apache module to apache2 or use it on apache1, which is much faster than the cgi.

With 4 gig of ram however, you would probably be fine running it all on the one host.
