Hi Bakki,
I have used mod_perl on a Cobalt Qube. It ran ok, but I would recommend
getting a lot of memory for it. The problems I ran into were mostly
related to the Qube not being that great of a development environment.
The Qube is great as a firewall/internet server for a small compnay, but
if you need to run 200 Virtual domains, I would recommend buying some
higher end hardware and learning how to administer it yourself.
For example, the RAQ3 has a AMD K6 200 (equiv to a pentium 200?) and
costs $1500 for a 64MB and smallish harddrive. For $2300, I put
together a dual PIII 600 machine with 512MB RAM and 20GB disk all in a
2U case. Shove on FreeBSD or whatever and you have a pretty sweet box.
