That might be true using conventional servers for the back-end but the apps I did and tested were developed on MY back-end. When tested - I was pushing about 35k simultaneous connections (sustained) with jumps up to 45k per network node. Each connection was spanned across HTTP,POP3, and SMTP :-) All protocols mentioned were running on the SAME machine. Each connection had access to MySQL connectivity via my own n-Tier Database API that could handle the thread pooling required to handle such transactions. This technology is something I am looking to bring to Lazarus and open up for Cloud computing sometime soon. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
