Isn't the simplest option to place a decent reverse proxy between the
webserver and our clients?
For example, varnish will cache and proxy simple GETs, so simple views
of the front page and docs (which I imagine is a large chunk of the
traffic) will be offloaded from the webserver:
http://varnish.projects.linpro.no/wiki/VarnishFeatures
Also, is the current installation (Db, apache + trac) all on one machine
or are the DB and the webserver split already?
These would be easy ways to throw more hardware at the problem.
What is the current web-server configuration?
Can you share traffic stats for the top 20 pages, so we get an idea of
where the load is?

I'm surprised to hear that.
Usually replication of servers for read requests works well
with dns sharing.
Does Trac not run a database? that can go on another machine and
lighten the load.
Anyway, it's your call. Keep up the good work.
I think the best option may just be to collect machine, database, and
usage stats and ask the trac guys for help.
