thousands requests per day are not an issue for average Apache install at all ...
only the high load peaks could cause timeouts, but just for such cases kannel has a retry option .. ? before to go for expensive hardware, try to tune the kannel and the Apache play a bit with the retry option values use fake_smsc to test RE the Apache hosted scripts do not use mod_python or Java, because their default behavior is to timeout the first request and to handle the next once very fast. There are several reasons for that. I had several issues with a client of mine using mod_python... in case you have millions of MO/MT hits, its another story in this case use sqlbox to handle the MO traffic in proper db like postgresql and oracle simple onInsert rules could proceed the traffic routing rules according your live services .... cheers seik -----Original Message----- From: Khary Sharpe [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 ?????? 2007 ?.
