I've been meaning to release an update to lingerd since I got it ported to FreeBSD and Solaris... since I can't find the time to do the cosmetic changes that have been in the TODO list for too long, I figure I'll leave those for later. Anyway, here it is...
Lingerd version 0.94 has been released; you can find it at http://www.iagora.com/about/software/lingerd/index.html WHAT IS LINGERD? Lingerd is a daemon that greatly improves Apache's scalability by taking over the task of lingering on closing sockets. On dynamic page servers that don't serve their own images (and where keepalives are off), the effect of lingerd on Apache's load is similar to that of a proxy front-end server. CHANGES Lingerd up to 0.93 had been tested under Linux only. This release fixes some compatibility issues to make it work under FreeBSD (other BSDs should work the same), and also buils and runs on Solaris, using a different fd-passing API. -- Roger Espel Llima, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.iagora.com/~espel/index.html
