This might not be the best place to ask, but what's the problem (or cost) of using iptables to get CouchDB to respond on port 80? I've been using that for years with no problems, but I don't have that much traffic either. I've also used nginx for mostly static sites, when CouchDB made a good backend to receive contact messages. In that case, CouchDB was only available at 5984 but proxied by nginx. Both options were simple to implement. -- Robin
