Yes, squid in accelerator mode. It won't help with dynamic content, so the idea is to cleanly separate the static resources into a static server running squid. (If you notice websites loading, they refer to a 'static' or 'img' hostname). It's faster because squid takes much less steps to process an object request, unlike Apache httpd which has more. Another option is to use a lightweight static-only httpd. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
