Yes, but my point remains - instead of being primarily memory limited like Apache, lighttpd can easily scale to thousands of connections on the same hardware. You likely wouldn't even need to bother limiting connections by IP address. It can definitely be a pain to migrate an Apache config to lighttpd, but for sites like yours I think it can be worth it. -Dave _______________________________________________ atrpms-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.atrpms.net/mailman/listinfo/atrpms-users
