Comment (by peterh):

 The two instances talk to each other through Redis. crm-int-01 is running
 CiviCRM on top of Drupal which is storing all of Tor's donation
 information. Normally you setup CiviCRM on a public web server so that you
 can use its builtin public pages to accept donations, join mailing lists,
 etc... We don't really trust CiviCRM's security, so we wanted to not have
 it on a public server, but we still need a way to get the donation
 information into the database. Having the public donation site pass
 donation information to the internal site using Redis massively shrinks
 the normal CiviCRM security footprint.

 I think if we didn't gather any information from this crash we either need
 to come up with some new way to gather information or we need to try one
 of the other options like ipsec or spiped.
