I have a production UltraSparc-1 server running Solaris 2.5.1, Apache-1.3.9,
mod_perl-1.21, MySql, (168mhz, 512MB ram). I am at the edge of memory usage,
and occasionally even swap (bad I know).
I don't have a development box so I want to try something with out breaking
whats working already.
I want to leave my core server alone, but insert a proxy rule for all
^/images/ on my server and redirect them to a light weight Apache server
running on the same box.
The average memory "RES" is 6-7Meg per child. I remember running a light
weight sever before and it was just over 1Meg each.
Now - to my real question:
Is this order big-server -> little-server going to benifit me much? Would
just a simple ReWrite proxy rule do it? I know the normal order would be
little -> big, but I think thats a bit risky at this point.
TIA, Cliff
