I think apache were based on NCSA httpd 1.3 and it supports serverside includes The only problem with apache were that it pretty often started forking up itself until the machine died. We are currently running NCSA 1.5 which is also free. This is of course an sun 4/390 and not on freebsd. Our deamon sends between 500MB and 1GB each day. We thought that it were the load that killed it. But if it's used by you than i can't belive that its the load. /Tomas -- Tomas Klockar can be found at the following adresses: Kårhusvägen 4, 2:43 | Furuvägen 102 | dateck@ludd.luth.se 977 54 Luleå | 871 52 Härnösand | dateck@solace.mh.se Tel: +46-920-229391 | Tel: +46-611-13393 | d94-tkl@sm.luth.se
