hi,

first of; grats on getting the project. very interesting.

i don't know if the use of a gnu tool would conflict with FreeBSD
politics but you could use tar(1) or an equivalent and GPG.
this would also be protocol independent. e.g.: you can use a public
key for the central server to encrypt traffic destined for the server.

lighttpd works very well and fast with PHP in my experience.
varnish-cache is also pretty cool for heavy loads or distributed
setups. postgres is a good choice.
