Apache's a RAM hog? Damn, and I thought Steve was
comparing it to IIS... ;)

I know it's controversial, but what do people think
about khttpd? I was pretty impressed when I heard it
could pass off dynamic stuff to Apache... (or another
web server - would it work with say, Zeus or AOLServer?)
I realise it wouldn't be a great idea on a general
purpose server, but if you had a machine dedicated to
web serving, it would be ideal.

I remember some really good articles describing these
