my dev boxes are this:
mac osx 10.4
mp2 ports 8080-8090 serves static and dynamic content
my prod boxes are:
freebsd 6
lighttpd ( probably moving to nginx , as lighty has a gigantic
memory leak under heavy proxy use) port 80 for static content and
reverse proxy / load balancing
mp2 ports 8000 - 9000 serves dynamic content
my local box has been sluggish lately. i think it has to do with
Keep Alive and a recent Safari update- mp2 tosses all the content in
a split second, but the connection hangs and the page doesn't render
because the images connection is complete or something, until i reach
apache's keepalive timeout
shutting that off seemed to have fixed everything. since its a dev
box, i'm not worried.
that brings me to the keepalive on the server regarding mp2 serving
to a reverse proxy. the only info i could find about it was Stas
asking for recommendations in 1999.
under my naive understanding, KeepAlive should be off in a multi-
server setup, as the only item in the connection request should be
the single dynamic content page (as the images and css/js files are
handled by the proxy).
or , am i way off, and the connection is good for multiple requests ,
and keepalive on would be a bonus?
