Yeah, but what you're likely to end up with is apache on one machine just passing requests to and from apache-mod_php-your_app on another machine. Or, you could use some other web server on the second machine, might even be something dead-simple, like a shell process running command-line PHP (don't do that unless you know how and why already) or a perl (php?) script that passes things on to the PHP cgi. Are you familiar with Tomcat? The typical production arrangement with Tomcat, except for sites that use very little static html, is to have Apache handle the static html, and Tomcat handle the jsp/java. Apache and Tomcat can definitely be on separate machines. I think I have read somewhere reports of some project working to set up a similar special-purpose php-template server for php, but that may be just my imagination. -- Joel Rees, programmer, Kansai Systems Group Altech Corporation (Alpsgiken), Osaka, Japan http://www.alpsgiken.co.jp -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
