That's the thing. If the majority of your site content IS dynamically generated, SQL-Relay will NOT help you -- it may keep your database from getting overloaded, but since each page REQUIRES a database access, it will just make your entire site less responsive. However, Squid is still useful because every site has tons of little GIF's and other graphics all over the place. Even a web page which is entirely dynamic will reference a bunch of graphics. Note that each of these 100-byte GIF "white dots" actually consumes a server httpd process. --- Orlando Andico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mosaic Communications, Inc. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
