Re: PHP - Best Appication Structure

Yes, Kevin also caught my Denmark bluper.  I meant Netherlands.  At least both countries are in Western Europe ;-)

I'm trying to consider network latency.  A ping to Netherlands responds in 194 milliseconds.  A ping to Yahoo mail responds in 110 milliseconds.  A ping to a server on my LAN responds in 1 millisecond.

I did a traceroute to atk.achievo.org and the last host answering pings is

8  ge2-1.br10.saams.nl.easynet.net (87.86.71.213)  39.358 ms  41.456 
ms  36.732 ms

and the page refers to http://www.ibuildings.nl/  for "©1999-2005 
ibuildings.nl BV".   All this indicate to me that the system is located 
in the Netherlands but that is a minor issue :)

The Linux guess is probably their firewall.

But network latency may be quite big, so your figures should reflect that.
