Hi J,

Thanks a lot for replying my message! :)

Do you have any example of the best Apache and ProxyCache configuration to
running zope?

My configuration looks like this:

<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
ProxyRequests On
#ProxyReceiveBufferSize 65536
ProxyReceiveBufferSize 0
CacheRoot "/www/proxycache"
CacheSize 5000
CacheGcInterval 1
CacheMaxExpire 48
CacheLastModifiedFactor 0.1
CacheDefaultExpire 5
ProxyPass /paginas/ http://200.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/
ProxyPass /p_/ http://200.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/p_/
ProxyPass /misc_/ http://200.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/misc_/
ProxyPassReverse /paginas/ http://200.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/
ProxyPassReverse /p_/ http://200.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/p_/
ProxyPassReverse /misc_/ http://200.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/misc_/

The TOP result is:

Memory: 2048M real, 524M free, 7184K swap in use, 2041M swap free

  PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE  SIZE   RES STATE   TIME    CPU COMMAND
 8035 nobody    11  31    0   13M   13M cpu0  174:10 29.70% python             


Only the Zope pages are slowly... The Apache is working properly...

Thanks a lot for any help,

Christiano
