Apache2 costs 5MB of RAM per process
The number of processes is configurable via apache2 config (by default: 2
processes while idle, 10 processes while working)
The reason why do we need more than 1 server is: currently we are working
with 3-5 ports:
1) rtmp 1935
2) rtmpt 8088 ("fallback")
3) web server 5080
4, 5) https
I will try to create proxy (inside tomcat) listening on some port and
redirecting packets to the corresponding services, unless this
functionality is not required.
