I don't think the number of virtual domains is important, its how much traffic they generate. We have a few sites that really get pounded. At peak times there were 1200 webserver processes running (try that in 64 megs of ram) and available memory was down to 32 mb (out of 384). I think a big difference is that we were using netscape 2.0 enterprise server with uses HTTP/1.0 -- which must fork a process per connection. Our apache uses HTTP/1.1 which pipelines requests (with help of the client) making for much lower resource usage on the part of the webserver. We ran the gamut on the tunables -- we were just flat running out of RAM. - Barrett Richardson rabtter@orion.aye.net On Thu, 27 Aug 1998, Jamie Bowden wrote: > > > I have over 200 virtual domains running off an Indy R4600 @ 133mhz w/ 64M. > I don't have any problems with this.
