This may well be the right approach. But rather than handling "simple" requests, it should handle cacheable requests. But only if they're in it's cache - otherwise it passes them through to the userland web server, and cache the results. This is the approach that Sun took (except they used a STREAMS module, rather than an accept filter). -- Mike Bristow, embonpointful, but not managerial, damnit.
