847193 - some getpersonas calculations

Personas have an update check ping built into them.  I'm not sure if we measure traffic to it at all but judging from the number of accounts on getpersonas it could be a non-trivial number.  The URL for update pings is gp.com/:lang/update_check/:id.  An example:

> https://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/update_check/33

1) Would you grep the last week of zeus logs for getpersonas.com and total up hits per day on update_check?

2) Would adding that many hits per day to VAMO concern you?  My current plan is to just 301 to VAMO and have VAMO handle sending updates to clients.  Assume the same caching on the front end as add-on updates.

2. No, VAMO cluster should be able to handle this traffic without a problem.
