(Apache+Proxy+TinyHTTP) vs (Apache+Relay+IPWebListener)

We currently have a system deployed in limited production using Apache
that is proxying a TinyHTTP server on the back. Now the other option is
setting up a Apache using a relay to IPWebListener, but I was wondering
if anyone ever done a comparative study of these two setups in terms of
stability, performance and such? Thought I'd ask first before spending
too much time setting up a test farm for the latter.

Thanks!

Re: (Apache+Proxy+TinyHTTP) vs (Apache+Relay+IPWebListener)

Not detailed study, but I suspect there isn't all that much difference. The underlying mechanisms on the VW side are extremely similar. The gateway setup might give you a bit more ability to "hide" the underlying VW server in terms of having the returned headers all be what Apache would normally do. The Tiny HTTP can't do HTTP 1.1 persistent connections, so if that's significant, the gateway might make a difference.
