There is a good, if inconspicuous, mention of AOLserver in the Feb LJ. On page 46, in the feature on the Magnatune record label, the statement is made: "Apache 2 running PHP and OpenSSL serves all the HTML pages. When Magnatune was Slashdotted, I found that Apache could not keep up with the load for images. All HTTP image requests now are off-loaded to AOLserver, which had the lowest latency to serve images at high speeds." Later: "Mathopd [which they use to serve the very large streaming audio files] has more latency than AOLserver, which is why we don't use it to serve small images."
Wow, somebody who really uses the right tool for each job. Apache for the HTML and PHP stuff, AOLserver for machine-gunning images out, and Mathopd for serving very large files at high speeds. But it is a NICE mention of AOLserver. -- Lamar Owen Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
