Raul,
 
What if RPG is out of consideration?    
 
Your point about .Net requiring two or more servers caught my eye and made me wince.  But.. if one must use something like Apache for their environment/language to work, isn't that using two or more servers as well?
 
Thanks,
 
Dave

.Net will require two or more servers to do something that can be done 
with one.
I won't say "better" to avoid discusion, but certanly one AS/400 alone 
will be more reliable than windows + the AS/400, will be less expensive, 
will be easier to administre, will be faster...

And, if you already know RPG, just use CGIDEV, you only need to learn a 
few functions.
