Apache.

Mako.  (for speed)

I'm loving mako.

Yes, and in fact we are using TG2 to serve files which are constrained
by permissions.  I also serve up custom tarballs.

very small <50/day

Single Server.  I don't know the specs, but it is fast.

None that I can think of.

Mako templates, research into load balancing using something like

No comment.

Just wanted to add that I think that you should not have too many
challengings getting TG2 to scale.  Also, although my internal website
is fairly simple, It is fairly complex, implementing: RestController,
CrudRestController, sprox, tw.dojo, tgext.admin, tw.timeline,
tw.timeplot, tw.dynforms.

I use WebTest to test all of the pages in my application.  Using
WebTest in conjunction with coverage, I am able to have a pretty good
certainty that my entire app is working when it comes time to
release.  I think this is one place where TG2 particularly shines.
TG2 helps you manage complexity, and it gets out of your way when you
need it to.

cheers.
