Jim--

For Web servers, you could take a look at this paper:

@InProceedings{Katz94:scalable-http-server-www94,
  author = 	 {Eric Dean Katz and Michelle Butler and Robert McGrath},
  title = 	 {A Scalable {HTTP} Server: The {NCSA} Prototype},
  booktitle = 	 {Proceedings of the First International {WWW} 
Conference},
  address =      {Geneva, Switzerland},
  year =	 1994,
  month =	 {May},
  url =          {http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/InformationServers/Conference
s/CERNwww94/},
  annote =       {Also in: Computer Networks and ISDN Systems, Volume 
27, September 1994, pp. 155-164.}
}

Hope this helps,

Bruce.
