I can understand why you wouldn't want a MAC address conflict, but why does the volume ID of the hard disk matter? What can go wrong?
I have a poorly performing web app that will be massively scaled out to cope with the weight of the internet.
Haproxy will be used to farm out the stateless web requests to many servers. However, there's still a limit to the traffic that can come and I'd like to prioritise genuine users.
Can haproxy be configured to send traffic from a particular referrer URL to a particular box?
E.g. if the deployment's gateway is mentioned in a news article I can redirect traffic from that article to a fast static HTML site saying something on the lines of "thank you for you interest, here's some info."?
If this is possible, perhaps someone could share a relevant snippet from the configuration file.

If my database is larger than 10GB and I'm using it in READ_ONLY mode, will I be violating the licensing agreement somehow?
It appears that SQL Server Express edition only gets fussy if you try to insert data into a DB larger than the limit, but reading is fine it appears.
In my case, the READ_ONLY DB will be smaller than the limit, but I'm curious to know if this is a 'legal' use of the software (i.e. scaling out reads across lots of static, large DBs served by Express edition)
