Especially one like Rackspace which claims to have over 50,000 Web servers. They don't say how many are: (1) virtual hosts in a single Apache instance, separate Apache instances on a single server, separate Apache instances on unique Linux/Windows hosts under VMWare or the like, or on a dedicated machine. But I can imagine a z running a lot of Apache and/or Tomcat servers on z/Linux under z/VM. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
