If we are wanting "to serve static files faster", then yes, Nginx would do that for us[0]. I use Nginx for all of my personal application deployments, and I've been extremely impressed with it's speed and ease of configuration. However, it's WSGI support is a bit questionable, so we would only want to use it as for serving static files & reverse proxying. You can also configure it to hit memcached before apache, which is pretty neat. Mike is right though, if it's not solving an real problems for us, we're better off using what we are already familiar with until we see an obviously need for it. luke [0]: http://blog.webfaction.com/a-little-holiday-present _______________________________________________ Fedora-infrastructure-list mailing list Fedora-infrastructure-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-infrastructure-list
