I believe this is all correct, however there are other advantages to unix sockets for certain setups. They're easier to secure (this is not always relevant, but it can be). In some scenarios they can be easier to manage too (you can glob them, it's harder to 'glob' using netstat). I know that was a discussion about performance, this is just my $0.02 :-) _______________________________________________ Mongrel-users mailing list Mongrel-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users
