Hi,

Oh, one other wrinkle is ssl. I had to forgo proxying my ssl pages

whatever was sent from the reverse_proxy.

I've only read some docs and reviews for nginx so far, but I thought
it supported ssl. Does it not? Do none of the 3?

Right now, I'm using the dual-apache setup on one server. The light apache has ssl compiled in. It is the only one listening on the
public ports of 80 and 443; it then forwards everything to the
mod_perl apache on port 81.

I've been assuming that I could replace my light apache with ssl with nginx with ssl with essentially the same setup. I'd move nginx to a separate machine, though, so I would do same more load balancing and fault tolerance. nginx would be listening in on port 80 and 443 and forwarding things on.

Is this not possible?

It's definitely possible, I use nginx on both 80 and 443 all the time.
