Yep. Worked a lot on the key components of the Zeus3 Server.

Oops - Replied to you. Damn. Can you forward it on for me?

Well, it's amazingly scalable. Performance is incredible.
SGI, HP and others were throwing machines at us for us to optimise the
server engine to get the best performance for their hardware platform....
It was almost a war between these guys!
If you want sheer performance, then go for Zeus1.
If you want a slightly reduced performance, but configurability and
features coming out of your ears, then use Zeus3 (which still performs
and scales in a way that BillyBob Gates only dreams of!!!)
(Zeus2, BTW, was never-released architecture trial...).
All configuration is via a web front end, and I loved using it.
Give the guy's as Zeus a call. http://www.zeus.co.uk
Their support team is excellent too, they really value their customers
because they're a small company.
Yeah, I rate the product and the company... Okay, the two guy's who
wrote zeus1 from their halls of residence are friends of mine, and
it's difficult to know what to say about it!!!
The way I always look at it is this: You need to weigh up the pro's
and con's of paying for zeus against something like Apache, which
is free. As a 'product' Zeus is better than Apache - this is without
considering performance.
Most organisations LIKE support (which you don't get with Apache).
Zeus's maintainance contracts cover virtually all scenarios (I seem
to remember) and there's bound to be something to suit all.
30day trial versions are available for download on da web site...
Zeus does kick butt, and is a configurable dream......
Ring the guy's at zeus, and try out the trial version.
Or if you want some specific informal and unbiased info, then drop
me an email and I'll see what I can dig up.
Chris
