If you have a large application, "Big Iron is your friend". But don't assume that you need big iron until you have actually measured the performance.

It has been demonstrated many times. Pound exists for this very purpose, and Zope introduced ZEO for the same reason. This seems like a very shallow criticism, given that the problem has been solved many times over. > I certainly haven't seen any host providers using > Apache 2 yet, although that's might be an interesting > solution. I am in the process of setting it up right now, if anyone is interested. I can afford to run bleeding edge, because I don't have any legacy to support right now. (Some might argue that Apache 2.0 is not mature yet, and may have unknown security issues. I respond: Bind and Sendmail are "mature", and certainly have known and unknown security issues. I would rather take my chances with Apache 2.0, than with either of those. Yet those same providers who refuse to use apache 2, continue happily patching their BIND systems every other month.) ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
