If you use mod_proxy thne mod_perl would be busy for all upload time. Although there's patch for mod_proxy to buffer upload in temp file. mod_accel always buffers client's upload. > But I want the file to be on frontend as it makes sense for when they > download the file ... they only need a lightweight apache server to do > that. > > So far I can think of doing > > 1.

You can send file from mod_perl and cache it on frontend. If you use mod_accel then it buffers whole reponse from backend in temp file and releases mod_perl as soon as possible. You even do not need to cache it. Igor Sysoev http://sysoev.ru
