[naviserver-devel] Questions about NS details... (scalability, lib changes)

[Mike <nee...@gm...>]

Two unrelated questions...

The project for which I am considering NS will have a dynamic and very
large static part.  There will be many very large (650MB) static files
that people will download.  It is hard for me to judge what the
performance of serving these files with NS will be.  Of course
benchmarking would be the ideal route, however I have the pleasure of
writing the code now, and the hardware for this project won't be
purchased until a while from now.  Should I use NS for the dynamic
part and redirect the static requests to something like lighttpd, or
can I rely on NS to handle such load without problems?

Does there exist a caching mechanism for dynamically generated tcl/adp
pages?  If it does, where can I find docs for how it works/when the
cache is invalidated?

Does a mechanism exist to "reload" the tcl libraries on a live server?

(please pardon all the questions, I'm just trying to get up to speed
with what's in there)
