Up until now we have been using the cern server as our primary web server. We also have a few hundred virtual websites that have been using the cern httpd_multi quite happily. I just switched the main server over to apache httpd with no problem, and we are looking at switching all the virtual websites over to apache also. Here's the question -- apache offers two options for running virtual web sites. You can use use the Bind option, which binds the server to the ip number and runs a separate server daemon for each virtual website (this more or less equates to what we are doing now with cern), or you can use the Listen option to run allow the primary daemon to also listen and respond to all the virtual websites. Does anyone have any input on which method offers more performance when you get into the 200-300 virtual website realm? Joe Mays
