RE: [cobalt-users] Zeus Webserver???

[Jeff Lasman <jblists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would think it'd be an "add-on" gui, and not a completely separate one, 
as it's NOT an FTP server, a mail server, etc., etc.

While some of the features look good, many are certainly available from apache.

In fact, apache documentation includes everything you need to know to run 
apache as seperate virtual servers, one for each domain; that enables you 
to have individual configuration files for each site.

And it's the individual configuration files for each site that gives you 
the scalability.

Okay, there're a few questions left, then:

1)  would you install it on a working system before you knew how it would 
impact your already installed RaQ net-based configuration system?

2)  would you pay us$1600 per server for hosting websites?

3)  would you run a web-server for which source-code is NOT supplied?

Personally, I'd say no to all of these, your mileage may vary.

But I'd love to know where they rate in the standings in terms of 
percentage of web-servers on the Internet.
