We're pointed at by Netscape!

Well, not really :)  But a linmk to apache is on their "Off the Net" site:

Just thought it was funny in a symbolic way.

p.s. - anyone been able to do some speed tests to compare this to other 
servers?

    I've been meaning to do this for a while now, but I'm moving back
to Toronto for a new job come September 20, so things at my current
job are pretty hectic while I try to finish things up.  I did manage
to release WebHound on Apache 0.85 a couple of weeks ago just to get a
feel for the new server.  FreeBSD 2.1-960726, 486DX4/100, 16 megs RAM
and 40 clients accessing it, simulating data pipes of varying widths
and lag times, random dropped connections, etc.  The benchmark ran for
14 hours, with a projected daily access rate of almost 600,000
accesses.  Load average stayed at around 0.70 the whole time.  :)

    I did notice that I could only get 25 servers running, even though
MaxClients was set to 150... I'll try it again with the latest code
and get some more conclusive numbers.
