it doesn't force you to use DSO. i recently built a new server set-up using mod_proxy/mod_ssl on the front end, and two different back ends, one with mod_perl, and the other with mod_php. the server is set-up to handle virtual hosts on the front-end and on the mod_perl back end. i could have easily added virtual hosting for the mod_php backend, but i am only running some canned software for intranet use, so it was unnecessary. i did this for a few reasons: 1 ) i don't have to recompile everything if there is a bug found in any of the independent modules ( but i have to recompile everything to upgrade apache. :-( ) 2) i think the overall memory footprint will be smaller. 3) each of the separate servers is simpler and therefore less error prone. 4) i get the standard advantages when using a proxy in front of mod_perl. i have done some initial testing without any problems. i need to some more stress testing and then put it in production before fully recommending this set-up to others. -- ___cliff [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.genwax.com/
