For now user-agents that look like a bot get sent to
sources2.gentoo.org (via HTTP-302, not a perm redirect) and humans are
good on sources.gentoo.org. Assuming the crawlers and indexing systems
follow the spec; hopefully all our search resutls do not get rewritten
to sources2.gentoo.org (that would surprise me greatly...wait no it
wouldn't ;p)
Robin added a caching layer for some segments of the application; I am
looking at cprofile dumps and discussing pain points with upstream.
