Is it possible to make alternate cgi scripts which use as host mysql-node01 rather than glastDB? If so, we can test all functionality without any impact on production pages. Do we know where all relevant scripts are?
I think I found the location of the scripts which actually get called. It's highly protected, but copies of the files are available elsewhere for browsing. If I understand correctly, the production files also ultimately use the information in DBConf to connect, but it doesn't look too hard to make slightly-modified versions with different names which would use an alternate DBConf, pointing to mysql-node1 (and no doubt easier still for someone with experience with cgi scripts). We'd probably need help from unix-admin to install the modified scripts in the official location.
