Yeah, I work with two setups like that, but in my cases the db servers are on very fast local network links, so it wasn't a problem. It comes back to the same key of optimization though: profile it in real situations, since there's a lot of factors that are hard to guess by gut alone. > That's not as bad as you may think, I've done that for my server recently. Yeah, I've recently started using startssl too. They seem to be doing it the way it ought to be done!
