Marco,
In regard to your question about how would the Windows RDP configuration
performs much better than Linux, I have theories. The products may not be
an apples to apples comparison. My understanding is that Windows RDP only
supports a single session, while I suspect the Linux products support
multiple. Frank Soltis has remarked on numerous occasions that *nix was
fundamentally designed as a single-user operating system. Perhaps your
testing confirms that. Just consider the overhead of hosting multiple Linux
sessions on a single server. Add to that the fact that your middle-tier
server is also connecting to a back-end HTTP server. And that back-end HTTP
server may be connecting to a separate DB server (evidently IBM i).
RDP architecture competes against web architecture, in the sense that RDP
supports "thick" client computing, while web supports "thin" client
computing. Your use-case is the first one that I have ever heard about
where someone has tried to combine both.
What sort of "ugly things" do you see happening if you just let your
browsers connect directly to your HTTP server? Are you concerned about
browser incompatibilities?
Nathan.
