Hi, Klaatu,
Loved the podcast. Your idea of urging listeners to try different servers was great, but your choices of nginx, apache, and lighttpd seemed to indicate an interest in "big name" webservers.
I thought you might want to consider something else "big name." Did you know that the webserver that powers AOL, aolserver4, is an open-source project? Check out aolserver.com. They boast not of some obscure benchmark, but rather of extreme scalability and a huge number of languages embedded and multiple API's, and multiple database platform support.
I haven't tired it myself, but I thought you'd like to know...
