Re: pgsql and sql-relay

If you're not dying to use Apache, I might recommend taking a look at
AOLServer (http://www.aolserver.com)... it's thread-safe,
multi-threaded, db-connection pooling, lightweight web server...
extrememly fast (powers most of the major server at AOL serving 100+
conns/sec), easy to connect to postgresql (http://www.openacs.org), and
TCL API... if you need each virtual host to have its own db pools, you
can use AOLServer's nsvhr and nsunix modules to set up virtual hosts on
unix sockets... if the virtual hosts can share db pools, then you can
use the VAT module (http://zmbh.com/discussion/vat/)... Since it's got
it all built it, you might look into it...
