I'd like to actually figure out how to load-balance the proxy pass-thru to five instances of Apache running in single-threaded mode w/ mod_perl ... since the server that the Perl scripts are connecting to can handle five simultaneous connections and I'd like to take advantage of that ... that's my next project :)By making 'ThreadsPerChild 1' - the entire server runs as a single
thread, mod_perl and any other requests (e.g. images) that come in -
this is why the server slows to a snails pace. I've set up two
instances now, one to handle all incoming requests, the other to serve
as a backend proxy pass-thru for mod_perl requests. It seems to be
working out fairly well.
Ah, that makes sense. Good idea. People have reported that even with its
limitations on NT, mod_perl is still a lot faster than CGI or ASP with
PerlScript.
