Well, Yahoo is _extremely_ atypical. And they do a lot of stuff that involves custom coded Apache modules (in C, I think, not C++, though maybe both). Amazon reportedly uses a similar approach. Jeremy Zawodny is a frequent contributor on the MySQL list and a Perl guy so if you're really curious you could probably email him a polite question for more details. He's a nice guy. -dave /*================== www.urth.org We await the New Sun ==================*/
