Hello everyone,
We are testing a new web server config. please try the url http://www.phpbb.com:8000 and let us know if you have any problems.
For the geeks in the group (are there any?) the new configuration is a reverse proxy. The web server listening on port 8000 is a lean/mean Apache that only serves up static content (images/css etc.). Any requests that it receives for php pages are passed off to a second heavy weight Apache/PHP server.
We think that this configuration will be able to handle a much larger load without bogging down the server.
Frank
