SATURN.BOTANICS is primarily our firewall and database servers. All incoming HTTP requests are connected to Apache here,
which decides which hostname the request is for, and then forwards that request to the correct internal webserver on Apollo(Why?).
All HTTP requests are logged to files which are imported into PostgreSQL on Neptune on an hourly basis, for statistical analysis. Other important tasks
this system performs is firewalling out unwanted network connections from the internet, and also our web cache for outgoing
requests (MS Internet Security and Accelatation Server).
SATURN.BOTANICS also processes all incoming mail and outgoing mail from us and the webserver.
