[Zope] Hooking Zope into Apache - please read

[Anthony Baxter]

Hi,

I've used both the reverse proxy and the fastcgi mechanisms (on
www.ekno.com and www.ekit.com, respectively) and there's no comparision -
fastcgi is _far_ superior. It's much faster, it's less load on the apache
machine, and you don't end up with the apache server eating things like 
the remote machine name.

I wouldn't recommend the reverse proxy approach to anyone.
