Hi Thomas, A typical setup for your environment would be to set an apache reverse proxy in front and handle the dynamic content on a dedicated backend server. You can put your static files on your reverse proxy or serve them via another backend server. The important part is to split dynamic and static content, just like you intend to do.
Putting all static content on the same physical machine, but on a different Apache running on a different port sounds like a lousy setup to me. Consider clients trying to access your service but their firewall blocks outgoing requests to anything but port 80 and 443. regs, Christian -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: thomas Armstrong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Montag, 31.

AFAIK, when Apache answers a petition of dynamic content, it requires 10-20 MB. If you request for an image, then this 20MB process is serving static content inefficiently, which could be served just by a 1MB process. So I want to run another Apache with less memory requirements to serve these static contents. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
