the base reason is support.

with solaris you have the support, and help of your Sun VAR, not to
mention the Sun Techs.

the same goes for the Netscape HTTPd. if something breaks, you have
Netscape/iPlanet/AOL to help you get everything back in to a kosher state.

performance wise, i'd put Apache on FreeBSD much higher than NS on
Solaris.

from a cost POV, you also have an advantage.

it's all in the extended cost, though. will it cost you more to have to
maintain FreeBSD machines and apache on your own, or be able to call up
Sun or Netscape to assist you. in the long run, i see it all balancing
out.
