[vox-tech] Performance tuning for http file serving

[Alex Mandel]

I'm looking for some references and tips on how to tune a server
specifically for serving large files over the internet. ie 4 GB iso
files. I'm talking software config tweaks here.

The system is using a RAID with striping, the filesystem is XFS (some
tuning there maybe?) and will be running Apache2.2 all on a Debian
Stable install if that helps. It's got 2 2.5ghz cores and 8GB of ram
(those can be adjusted since it's actually a kvm virtual machine).

Thanks,
Alex
