The application will be hosted on a load-balanced architecture. Also, the connections will be open, but most of the time, no data will be transfered because chats are idle, and basically, chat clients are waiting for new messages for minutes or hours sometimes. Kind regards,
As you write that you have a load-balanced architecture I think it would be better to use more servers or more instances of Apache. Then you can say to your load-balanced balance between 4/8/... servers|instances. Have you develop for HTTP 1.0 or 1.1, what i mean is have you 1 Million keep-alive connections or 7? What is you backend, can the chat handle so many concurrent connections/users? regards Alex --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
