As an additional note, one of the key reasons I moved to Lighttpd is the small memory footprint. Each instance takes around 1.5Mb vs the 12Mb Apache was using. This lets me easily run one instance of Lighttpd *per site*, something that would have been extremely resource-intensive with Apache. This was the single best decision I've made wrt hosting as it lets me take sites up and down individually without affecting the rest. Configuring Pound does affect all sites, obviously, but Pound starts so fast you'd be hard pressed to see it happen ;-) It's also so simple that it's difficult to make mistakes, which is another reason I like this combo: much harder to shoot myself in the foot, and if I do, it will probably be in a lighttpd.conf, affecting only one site, not all of them.

Regards,
Cliff
