I work with Chris on the large nginx using project he referred to. One thing he maybe didn't mention is that it plays very nicely alongside and/or in front of apache. We use them both with easy requests handled by nginx. It forwards more complex ones (about 6% of requests in our case) up to apache. Our application is a very high performance news web site -- so we can tell you that it is a fast running configuration though it might not sound it. Whether a dual layer setup makes sense for production Koha -- I don't know, Chris could say. A dual layer config would be easy to set up so you could just let nginx handle certain requests - or none if it was making trouble. I can also tell you that the more I work with nginx the more I like it. Not sure why, I just do. -reed _______________________________________________ Koha-devel mailing list Koha-devel@lists.koha.org http://lists.koha.org/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel
