I've been using Apache::ASP for our clients for more than a year already.
Check out www.alumni.net, it's one of our biggest clients, all pages are
dynamic, database backend is Oracle via DBI.
I'm planning to implement a DBI session management integrated with
Apache::ASP, much like how Apache::Session works. Is this better for
clustered web servers with a single database server or do I just nfs mount
a shared directory and put the global directory there? Anyone doing this
already or do I just install Apache::Session and use its DBI session
management? Thanks.
