You could call it nsfastcgi  :-)

There's no aolserver module, as far as I know, but there's been
interest.  http://fastcgi.com has details.


Noticed a couple of things in nsproxy:  the name space for Tcl handle
is global, should be per virtual server.  Could the handle code be
split out?  It's similar to the stuff in nsd/tclobj.c, although for
different situations.  Would be good as library code.
