Lately I've been using apache on the front end with mod_rewrite and
mod_proxy to send mod_perl-required page requests to the heavy back
end. This has infinite more flexibility than squid, and allows me to
have multiple personalities to my sites. See for example the sites
http://www.morebuiness.com and http://govcon.morebusiness.com
These are on the same server, and all images and CGI's run on the
small apache, and the page contents are dynamically generated by a
heavy back-end proxied transparently. The front end apache proxies to
a different back-end based on the hostname it is contacted under.

Woulnd't running mod_perl on the front end kinda defeat the whole
purpose of an accelerator?
