Re: Webserving pdfs via reverse proxy, QNTC, NFS

It's hard to give an answer to your performance concern, but I suspect that 
setting up your reverse proxy on your Windows server and serving static content 
directly from the Windows file system would perform the best.  Have the proxy 
only forward requests for dynamic content to your IBM i server.

Subject: [WEB400] Webserving pdfs via reverse proxy, QNTC, NFS

Hello,

I was curious as to the group's experience serving static content from the 
following: reverse proxy, QNTC and NFS.

Current Config:
We have a web box (as/400 v5r4) running apache.  Currently it serves pdf content 
from another web server (also running apache) via a reverse proxy.  We have been 
encountering some performance issues which I believe are tied to this setup.

I do have other options for serving this data, such as dropping the reverse 
proxy, and map an IFS path to the other machine with either NFS or QNTC.

Does anyone have any input as to which provides better performance?

Thank you for your input.
Jeff
