Have been a very very long time since my last post. I have a big enterprise web application running in my company with a lot of traffic, I'm using Apache 1.3, PHP 4.3 and Oracle 8i.
The production server was a RedHat 9 box and I configured it to use tux, the kernel web server available in Linux 2.4.x series. This little web server was outstanding, it served static content and passed dynamic requests directly to apache to be served. It really improves performance and reduce cpu usage a lot!. Now, I installed Mandrake 10 to test the 2.6 Linux kernel. So far it is great, the installation and configuration of the OS, Oracle and PHP was flawlessly. The only problem is: 2.6 kernel doesn't ship tux anymore. I understand that the new kernel improvements makes it irrelevant right now because of the new sendfile() system call. But the problem is that there is no other web server that can give the same functionality of being able to pass dynamic requests to apache. I've tried boa, thttpd, but none of these can do that, the only thing they can do is "redirect" which is not the same. I would like to know if there are others fast user space web servers that can pass dynamic requests to a second robust web server like apache. I heard about phhttp but it is too old and unmaintained.
