i probably should give more detail about my question.
in my case, i need to do authorization. do i need
extra mod_perl front-end server to do this? how does
this perform?
also, will serving the file from backend mod_perl
server to the front-end proxy a such bad idea? I am
thinking that the modperl server will spit out the
file to the proxy without have it tieup with the
upload and let the proxy handle the file upload. am i
right about this? ( couldn't find much detail on proxy
to back it up at this moment )
thanks,
James.
