Yes, I tried Commerce, Communication and Proxy withing the 60 days server trial. It's nice to configure the Netscape servers via Netscape menues... > I am also looking at apache-ssl, but the CA delays may force me to > go with Netscape and BSDI (if necessary). What are CA delays ? BTW, a good way to accelerate you WWW Server is the harvest object cache. Look for cached in the ports section. Cached can act as a fast http accelerator, that serves incoming http requests very quickly if they can be answered from the cache. The accesses can be speed up from 3 to 200 accesses per seconds, if the requests can be fed from the cache... The other configuration is to use cached as fast Proxy Cache... It's much faster than Netscapes Proxy. And you can cascade proxies, Netscape can't (sisn't find it yet). Note, cached can only act as http accelerator or Proxy Cache. If you need both, then you need two cached's configured for the purpose you need. Cached is so fast, because it never forks, keeps some kind of objects in memory to be fast, uses non blocking I/O. I threw away Netscapes Proxy, because cached is blindingly fast ;-) http://harvest.cs.colorado.edu/harvest/httpd_accel.html http://harvest.cs.colorado.edu/harvest/FAQ.html http://harvest.cs.colorado.edu/harvest/Home.html Andreas /// -- andreas@knobel.gun.de /\/\___ Wiechers & Partner Datentechnik GmbH Andreas Klemm ___/\/\/ - Support Unix - aklemm@wup.de - \/ ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/Printing/aps-491.tgz apsfilter - magic print filter 4lpd >>> knobel is powered by FreeBSD <<<
