Hey Peeps-
Just a quick note from the sleep-deprived. I was rummaging on
freshmeat and bumped across something which looks potentially highly useful,
it's an acceleration daemon for apache:
http://www.iagora.com/about/software/lingerd/
>From it's website:
"Lingerd is a daemon (service) designed to take over the job of
properly closing network connections from an http server like Apache.
Because of some technical complications in the way TCP/IP and HTTP work,
each Apache process currently wastes a lot of time "lingering" on client
connections, after the page has been generated and sent. Lingerd takes over
this job, leaving the Apache process immediately free to handle a new
connection. As a result, Lingerd makes it possible to serve the same load
using considerably fewer Apache processes. This translates into a reduced
load on the server.
Lingerd is particularily useful in Apache webservers that generate dynamic
pages (e.g in conjunction with mod_perl, mod_php or Java/Jakarta/Tomcat).
More importantely, lingerd can only do an effective job if HTTP Keep-Alives
are turned off; since keep-alives are useful for images, the recommended
lingerd setup is to have an Apache/mod_whatever/lingerd server for the
dynamic pages, and a plain Apache (or thttpd or boa) for the images."
I haven't tested it with CF yet, but, as CF does do dynamic content,
and Apache has always been a bit of a bottleneck, maybe this could help.
Please feel free to send me your results/comments and Flames as always.
