Thankyou for all suggestions. It really is appreciated. I can't emphasize that 
enough.
And my apologies for hijacking the 'Fast Python webserver' thread. I didn't 
realize responding in outlook would change the google discussion topic like 
that.
 
The pointers and posts to using a reverse proxy setup led me down that road 
(something I had never really explored before),
as noted by Max Ischenko - 'May be due to lack of appropriate knowledge? ' - 
loved that.  It's a learning game, as I'm the first to admit, and the expertise 
on this list is invaluable. I hope my questions/problems aren't too annoying.

http://pylonshq.com/project/pylonshq/wiki/DaemonTools needs further exploration 
re: keeping paste alive as a service but the basic example at
 <http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html> 
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html makes the actual proxying 
part a snap. Just note that you must enable more than just mod_proxy (the page 
does not list the dependencies). Still exploring, no performance numbers yet, 
but it seems snappy.
 
Don't know why there are so many proxy solutions, or why proxy_ajp over 
mod_proxyl, but again I know nothing about it.
 
So proxying actually accomplishes a couple of things for me for now. My initial 
pylons foray was to look at replacing a legacy web app with something that 
allows templating. Now I can have my prototype live with the production app and 
just replace pieces as they are developed. A real bonus.
 
As for mod_python, still no explanation and need to explore but I have learned 
that some of the python components I'm using are going across nfs which is 
making me suspicious. As usual, sure to be something at this end. Will try 
mod_wsgi when avail.
 
This 'migrating a legacy web app using pylons' has been a great, if at times 
exasperating, experience. This is turning into a blog post, so I should stop 
but would like to write about it if I felt it would contribute in some way, as 
well as hear what others have done in similar situations.
 
Cheers,
John
