[Moin-user] mod_python and farms

[Matthew Cahn]

I have a two-wiki farm with mod_python, but I have two DNS aliases for 
the two wikis, with Apache set up as a reverse proxy with virtual 
hosts.  It sends requests for the two wikis to Apache daemons on two 
different ports, depending on which alias is used.  This avoids any 
question of what might be getting shared by mod_python. I can't say I 
know that this is necessary, but it works and gives nice URL's for wikis.
