Basically I am looking to see if I have things setup the best way possible or if anyone has any "better" suggestions.<br>

<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;"><br></p>Master Server with two Hauppauge USB tuners (Going to make these the lowest priority for recording in the future if possible)<br>
<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;"><br></p>Slave Backend with a single Hauuppauge PCI 1600 tuner. Plans on adding at least one more 1600 and possible a PCI express version also.<br>

They are stored on a 500GB HD that the directory has been exported via NFS so that the slave can also store it's recordings in the same location.<br>
<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;"><br></p>The master backend is a very old server that I had in one of my businesses. (in excess of 6yrs old). It has 2GB of RAM but a very slow processor and I think only a single processor. The machine where the slave is setup is the newest machine, 4GB of RAM and a quad processor.<br>
<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;"><br></p>What I would like to do is do the recording on the Slave tuner(s), have the Slave do all the commercial flagging and just have the Master backend server up the files when we wish to view them. I realize that moving the master backend to the new machine really would be the best option, but for various reasons, this isn't an option I want to undertake right now. It would require moving my web server, email server and MySQL server also and I am fairly lazy at the moment.<br>

Is this a flaw in how I set things up or just a flaw in the design of MythWeb?<br>
