##Swazoo The http://www.swazoo.org/ Swazoo2 web adaptor is currently available for Seaside3.0.

##FastCGI I recommend that lighttpd and FastCGI be used as the web front-end for Seaside. Here's a blog post in favor of FastCGI:

• My Favorite GLASS Front-End Server: lighttpd

Here's a blog post in favor of using Swazoo:

• Faking a https client for GLASS

In addition all of the scaling tests that I have done for Seaside have been performed running a combination of lighttpd and FastCGI:

• GLASS: A Share Everything Architecture for Seaside – ESUG 2008
• Scaling Seaside with GemStone/S

#Apache, Lighttpd and Nginx

I recommend that lighttpd and FastCGI be used as the web front-end for Seaside and here are some posts that support that recommendation:

• My Favorite GLASS Front-End Server: lighttpd
• Shedding Light on Lighttpd
• Gemstone/S and FastCGI with lighttpd
• GLASS is Flying with lighttpd

Apache:

• Installing and Configuring Apache on Slicehost for GLASS
