H Anam,
I'm with Tom on this one. The additional processing required in order
to "forward" the request most likely far outweighs the "lightweight"
benefit of using a lightweight server. I would recommend doing this the
other way round if you would like to do this, so lightttpd receives the
request, if it's static, serve it, if not, forward to apache. That way
round you might actually get a benefit from using one of the lightweight
http servers.
Kind Regards,
Jaco

Thank you Tom for your reply.
I don't want to serve static content from Apache, i want to forward
those requests to lightweight web servers and they should be capable
to serve those content.

mod_proxy will do that.

Apache is quite capable of serving files from disk though, why not
just let it?
Cheers
