Well, Zeus supports ISAPI, JDBC, etc, and the other options you pointed out have apparently designed themselves with migration from apache in mind (which doesn't inspire confidence), so it looks like it should be possible to use a reasonable server-side scripting tool that supports ISAPI, or back-end Java, to make dynamic content scream on these servers. Thanks for the tip Alfred (and others), and thanks for bringing it up James. I was completely in the dark until James asked. --Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
