The form submissions will not be a problem as they are a minimal amount
of traffic. Handling tens or hundreds of thousands of hits per day for
mirrors is a lot more. The box I'm using is on a 2Mb leased line (which
costs an arm and a leg here btw). If the traffic impacts our normal
business in any way, it will have to be removed - hence I'm being
cautious.

That happens quite rarely, and even when it does, 99% of users will
simply choose another mirror. This is also how it is setup now...
