Can Massimo or someone clarify if this tip will result in web2py serving static files or Apache serving static files?
Is this a "production" (high-performance) set up? The assumption "one domain per app" appears to suggest that this is a production set up. Yet, Massimo mentioned in an early tip similar to this that web2py would be serving static files, and is thus not meant for production. Can someone clarify please? Thank you.
