There are two big buckets you can group applications and content into:
static (images, js, css, static html, etc.) and dynamic (adp, php,
etc.). AOLserver is optimized for the latter, dynamic applications. We
have a completely separate server that we use for serving static assests
and sites. The server is even single threaded.

That said, the new design of AOLserver 4.x makes it possible to provide
this functionality as an add on module to AOLserver, and is something
we'll be looking at. No final decisions have made in regards to this
yet, so we're not sure if this would even be something we'd open source.
I'll keep you posted.

In the mean time, you might want to look at solutions such as Tux. Hope
this helps.
