[Mono-list] Re: XSP / mod_mono / Apache Question

[Nate Chadwick]

Robert,

Thanks for the breakdown.  I want to make sure I understand what you are
saying correctly.  When you say "enabled for mass hosting"  what does that
mean specifically?  Does that mean supports a large number of virtual hosts
or something else?

Also, I suppose that with mod_proxy another plus may be that the xsp server
process could be physically located on another machine(s).
