Ok guys, got that. I will have to watch the load on the server and then possibly decide on compiling a lean static httpd with only rudimentary functionality (e.g. this one wouldn't need mod_ssl, mod_vhost, mod_include, mod_rewrite, ...) which exclusively serves my private LAN. Maybe even CPAN's HTTP::Server::Simple or the embedded Linux Kernel HTTP server would suffice?
