Lenta.Ru

Don't slaughter the cash cow that lays golden eggs, All...! Does anyone have any idea what higher motives the portal is for? Does Lenta.Ru accept requests for images on port 8000? Because of this “feature” you have to create a firewall on the NAT server a special rule dedicated exclusively to the subject, or force all internal network users read subject news without photos. A subject advertisement laid out in a normal way! Logic - hell!

And subject advertising WB> is laid out as normal! Logic - HZ! It's simple. On port 80 there is an Apache, which is obliged to serve (and, moreover, quickly) the complex engine of this site. Scripts should give more performance at the expense of expended resources - in this case memory. One process apache + mod_perl + all necessary modules and libraries weighs several megabytes (sometimes tens). That’s why the banners come from the same place - the pictures are inserted by scripts. The second Apache gives away simple pictures hanging on port 8000. It is not overloaded with anything, so the processes weigh a couple hundreds of kilobytes. And the only thing he does is that he transfers files from the screw. ZXNet: 500:8462/1 ~/ <~ http://zxnet.da.ru/ Fido: 2:5057/56 /_ _> SkyNet: 71:170/21
