The servlet zones concept also has no parallel in
mod_perl. That is one of the most compelling reasons
for load distribution.
So, the reason you don't allow direct connections to
your mod_perl system is because of security? You
didn't explicitly say...
I have both loaded as DSOs. I haven't yet encountered
the ApJServMount and RewriteRules you speak of, as
this only when you are mucking directly with the
Apache API, which I haven't needed to yet. In theory
it should give you added flexibility (at the tradeoff
of complexity)
Thanks for your insights.
