Re: General WebServer Question?

The first thing you need is benchmarking software. Try an internet search for "webserver performance benchmark". I did it on altavista and got some good leads. For instance this one sounds excellant: http://www.softwareqatest.com/qatweb1.html It's description is "Listing of 190 web test tools and management tools - link checking, html validation, load testing, security testing, java testing, publishing...". Never underestimate the power of the search engine :) For the second part, you want a weblog analyzer. I reccommend Analog: http://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~sret1/analog/ It has listing for popularity of particular files, directories, etc. Good stuff. Insanely fast. -- Plutarck Should be working on something... ...but forgot what it was.
