We are new to Cherokee. Looking to use the reverse proxy features of Cherokee (under Ubuntu) to protect and improve the performance of our application servers (Windows based (IIS and ColdFusion)).
Currently, we have simple DNS load balancing going to between two application servers that split load on our busy website. We want to use the reverse proxy feature of Cherokee for load balancing but also to shield our two older Windows/IIS machines from direct access. First question is - is this a typical and reasonable job for Cherokee? Second question is - will Cherokee handle Gzip compression of the outgoing data to viewers or should that be done on our app servers? _______________________________________________ Cherokee mailing list [email protected] http://lists.octality.com/listinfo/cherokee
