| OdesÃlatel: Robert Segall <roseg@apsis.ch> | Apache does NOT need access to Zope, except via the HTTP port. This happens | to be true of any proxy (which Apache essentially is in this role). Set up | Zope on your NT machine the usual way and have the proxy access it as an HTTP | server. | | Regretably, Zope won't take advantage of multiple CPU's - that's a python | limitation, so you're wasting your NT machine. You may want to consider using | a smaller hardware setup there. If you arer really worried about performance | (which shouldn't be an issue at 10 hits/second unless you have extremely | complex stuff) you may want to look at multiple single-CPU machines running | against a ZEO backend. "NT" is our corporate CitrixMetaframe server. | I should think that the old 486 is more than enough for anything less than | 25-40 pages/second (in the proxy role). However, I would consider adding a | bit more RAM - 16MB is small. In any case make sure Linux runs without a | graphical desktop and with as few services enabled as possible (which you | should do anyway for a machine in the DMZ). 486 is our existing web server (apache) and squid proxy based on RedHat Linux 5.2. Connecting with SSH to that box makes lot of swapping and apache is very slow. | For a lightweight alternative to Apache in the proxy role try our Pound proxy | server at http://www.apsis.ch/pound - it does exactly what you need and was | designed for that, avoiding the overhead of a full-fledged web server. I need few virtual webs to run here. It is able to setup pound to use redirecting, for example www.domain.com --> 192.168.2.2:8080/www/www.domain.com/ another.domain.com --> 192.168.2.2:8080/www/another.domain.com/ www.domain2.com --> 192.168.2.2:8080/www/www.domain2.com/ All virtual domains are name-based virtuals at single external IP od 1.2.3.4 translated into DMZ to address 192.168.1.2 where is that small linux box. It is possible? Many thanks, J. Lukesh
