Devide Static and Dynamic Content

[ephigenie]

Hm i know nginx and lighttpd are both very perfomant,
but for static files are both (nginx + lighttpd + apache2.2.x) able to max out a 100Mbit line easily.

Maybe not with mpm-prefok but
Instead of the old & crap vhcs we can use mpm-worker or mpm-event & both of them are blazing fast (compared to 1.3.x & 2.0.x speed) .

So from my point of view a mixed mode setup makes not that much sense.
Because you've to take into account the overhead nginx/lighttpd's mod_proxy loads on every dynamic request.

Btw. do you mean the single-threaded -event-driven smart webservers in front or behind the apache ?

Something else which is by far more interesting would be a complete switch to lightty/nginx. But i has to regret that this is atm only hardly possible.
Thats caused by the lack of modularity and therefore the poor possibilities with our current template driven modell.

So a complete lighttpd / nginx support instead of apache is possible (perhaps with some limitations but... ) But that is planned to be supported in a later version.
Though perhaps we can build together a way to support a switch now between apache/proxy->nginx/lighttpd or pure apache or pure lighttpd/nginx.
What do you mean ?
