5) If I understand it correctly, if I use Apache to manage the virtual servers I *have* to use PCGI rather than ZServer. PCGI is approximately 4 times slower than ZServer (this from a Jason Thaxter email of 1/9/99) "While many benchmarking stats are meaningless, I can support Amos' basic contention that zerver is about 4x faster that apache/pcgi/zerver."

It is possible to run ZServer behind Apache. Take a look at the WEBSERVER.txt file in the docs directory of the source distribution. Essentially, you run z2.py with an argument telling it where the PCGI file is. If you configure Apache and ZServer to use the same PCGI config file, it works fine. And it is *MUCH* faster than PCGI since you get multithreading. Doug
