Seems like a > reasonable goal to me. Yeah, but doing CGI in httpd is dead simple. Doing in through Tomcat is a pain in the neck.

I suppose you could use a hw lb, but those things know how to route stuff like CGI to some other server, too. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJTpO1GAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRYrdQP/1c/SuiTF6o2HkgQh0CuH6TK ndC0YjtSR2Gtmo2Ry7ynDjjPDfcNLcElv+n1Rpl/TWUFHLGJ4r3uvuSZ/ly91zXD 7/xvknjB+/l9yf+EYyJxx4XjV9O+q77Ae5V43pw+b4XzzK95NQ7x/ZS8A5dUW1yr 4mI8pc3ytgEVIOrQV93j+pCgDPTZWpJkZULqLB3QMm+XJwNmdytscSmjzte594qQ TXNgGx6x+obSK6cPaVtAx5q9VfffpGMSS45869ZLBiT7CwubSBsSaBAFZWsYkg3p HIxwmRt3on/rSSrtfYm0OlaECFwAOXd9nT5Oq6BE4VQUCSxp4Ao0nNYtOz+rU0Tz km7CIAmsQwRTEeL9p8CYUJql/10vd35C4gghCGqYYCnJ/vDPvV/sdQwUaDjjJIbD QOKrOGLPF5Clgf+1nx51urer/WtloWt7cb9/LWZjrVyNFGjvoOlCKzGXCSz5/q0N KISYEFw3y9twyWLwz52vX+gmaThoKeMFwlH7HcCWQDp98zlLuXaaknIQHdGe9oW4 HEOUvRSPCVn9q0Dy4UB7wnkND8eYmkG3We9Rmbi9TVIxtxI8GEiQLFidnJqr1WWW 0XKP0xr9SE6KkFswSG/iFAK1ZfST+DbFksMl/IO6C/7WWzwbLnjC4PYkRl+SB6fG sSnMUItaMZ40cdPRYEj+ =LOMA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
