I'm using one as a cvs repository and master copy that gets distributed
via rsync to some other hosts but it isn't really serving the production
hosts in real time yet. One thing I was hoping to do was to let it
serve static content directly from my master image (you can get
an http server also) but it keeps crashing when I try to give
permission to a couple of subdirectories only and deny or issue
a redirect on attempts to access anything else. This is probably
my configuration error - I just haven't been sitting by a phone
long enough to deal with a call to tech support recently...
The thing doesn't seem especially fast at serving http but it
doesn't slow down much with hundreds of concurrent requests either.
