Every now and then, someone
asks me “Hey, how do I
‘tune’ my webserver to
better run proxies? I’ve
heard tuning is really
important but what does it
mean?” or they’ll ask “why
is it important to run a
dedicated server just for a
proxy site? Can’t I run my
sites on (some cheaper
hosting method)?”
Hopefully once you’re done
reading this article, you’ll
better understand the
answers to these common
questions, and come out with
a knowledge of how
specifically to tune apache
for J Marshall’s Cgi-Proxy
script to run on Apache. You
should also be able to take
the concepts herein and
apply them to performance
tuning Apache for any
website.
