opening a connection on a LAN is much cheaper than accross the internet. on Localhost even more so. it's common for a proxy not to do keepalive on the backend. also, you can think of any non-mod_python setup to be a proxy in front of a Django app. It's most evident when using nginx, (which is first of all a loadbalancer/proxy with a (fast!) static file serving afterthought), there you set the FastCGI process much like any HTTP backend server. -- Javier -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
