I'd recommend using apache for windows with
mod_proxy because it's more mature.
Another vote for apache as a proxy, using mod_proxy_balancer in apache 2.2
to proxy to multiple mod_perl backends.
I wouldn't recommend doing dev on windows for a linux environment. Dual
boot
your machine with Ubuntu linux and use that instead. It'll save you a lot
of
time and headaches.
We use a VM linux server, then setup file shares between the desktop and VM.
Allows the developer to use their favourite Windows editor, but the site
runs on the same platform as on live.
