[Zope] Apache-Squid-Zope, Squid-Apache-Zope.. or just Squid-Z ope?

[sean.upton@uniontrib.com]

I agree... I saw a message on this list a few days back where someone
mentioned Apache in front of Squid, which totally left me scratching my head
in confusion...

Squid+ESI should be pretty powerful.  Since ZPT will do XML namespaces, ESI
should be supported without any issues, if you wanted to do this out of the
box (of course, you still would need to patch and compile Squid with the ESI
support).

One other thing that Apache can't do (without mod_backhand, I think???) is
truly load-balance, but Squid can with Zope 2.6+ (thanks to ICP support):
Squid treats ZEO nodes as cache peers and removes them if they are down, and
also directs traffic according to load (updated constantly as function of
response times).

I would go for Squid+Zope only. Why use an additional component (Apache),
when it is not necessary?
