[/yaws|Yet Another Web Server(in erlang)] Lately I decided to look elsewhere than the usual "linux apache mysql php".
Reading on docs makes me draw something like apache or ngingx as a load balancer front-end, the same as the backend adding lighttpd for fast streaming ofdata.
This leave me more confused than before:
Line 5: Line 7:
[/pound|Reverse proxy, load balancer and HTTPS front-end for Web servers]  * apache or ngingx? old but solid or new with an ongoing development? wich for load and wich for serving?

My head started to wirl and I thought myself using a beast like apache to do load balancing was a bit like killing a fly with a nuke, so for I looked elsewhere for a solution and apt-cache search came to the rescue:

[[http://www.apsis.ch/pound/|Pound]]

The config file is one placed in ''/etc/pound/pound.conf'', is very simple and straight forward.

[[/pound|Pound Reverse proxy, load balancer and HTTPS front-end for Web servers]]

For the serving of static/dynamic content I decided that also for serving apache wasn't good enough, I looked over webrick and was not stable enough, I looked over python-wisted and it wasn't fast enough and so I found [[http://yaws.hyber.org/|YAWS (Yet Another Web Server)]] written in erlang designed for performance and scalability over multiple servers.
