Working on an authentication module that will support a "very" large number of incoming requests, on the order of millions per day. The module performs authentication processing and needs to talk to a server AuthProxy (not on the same machine) that in turn, relays the requests to a number of other systems. One of the performance optimizations we're considering is to establish and maintain a single connection to the AuthProxy and use throughout the life of the module/process instead of continuously establishing and tearing down TCP connections. Any advices on this? Any references or other modules that we can look at for assistance?
Thanks. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
