One of the solution is to use a load balancer if you want to handle very high traffic. Load balancer typically has an option to offload SSL (for https) so that it can handle SSL encryption/decryption using dedicated hardware chip and at wirespeed. LB will act like a reverse proxy. With sufficient servers on the backend and using a load balancer in the front, it can easily handle million request/second. -- mks -- _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines
