Seeks wisdom
To all you Apache Super Ninjas...
My company is on the verge of an epiphany... They are realizing that
Micro$oft cannot fulfill their web needs. So I'm planning a revolution with
Linux/Apache. Our web team doesn't know much about any *nix, let alone
Apache web server. My question is, where can I find information on setting
up a high capacity website with Apache. I've found very little with my
trusty old google. I did discover that the version of Apache that comes
with RedHat 7.2 is limited to 256 concurrent connections. I need it to
handle 1000+ connections.
Now, if they would do something besides Cold Fusion...
Thanks in advance.

LVS seems to be my solution. We have about a 120 websites strewn across
3 machines. No where near your 1000+ concurrent, but I think we hit
about 5 or 600 in times of traffic.

Actually someone on this mailing list suggested it, I was about to go to
Mosix with mod_backhand... The only disadvantage is the possibility of
the load balancer becoming a bottleneck. But, there are ways to fix that
too...

1000+ concurrent??
Okay 1 solution - done this.
Several Linux servers (Debian in this case) all running Apache +
associated
modules etc. Only limited by the spec. of the server. So lots of disks /
memory / CPU power is nice but not the final answer.
Put these behind something that can load balance, eg. A Foundry Server
Iron
with a VIP to the real servers sat behind it and bingo. A nice load
balanced
solution.
Obviously there is a quite a bit more work than the 2/3 lines outlined
above.
