John,
There used to be a great test report between some of the
popular http servers. Zeus and Apache were on it of course. Google
around for it. I am walking out the door now, but I will be looking
forward to this kind of conversation when I get to where I am going. :o)

I'm looking at the bottom of a hockey-stick growth of web serving :-)
In the near future, we could easily be looking at several million hits
per day.
Right now, the web server is one machine running Apache (and some other
stuff). I've set up an LVS director cluster and have a couple of
machines running Apache behind it. Content serving is going to be
migrated to this cluster very soon.
I'm looking for info about Apache and possible alternatives... the
serving in question is lots and lots of small files (components of
Flash-driven banner ads... don't shoot me!) I'm used to Apache, but
am willing to consider lightweight alternatives.
What is the "upper limit" of Apache? Assuming that the host and network
bandwidth aren't limiting factors... how much traffic can one instance
of Apache handle?
Any links to Apache tuning info?
What other possibilities are out there? Zeus, Tomcat, litehttpd or
httpdlite...
