In my experience NFS works better than QNTC. But, I would've expected the reverse proxy to be even better yet.

Is there a reason you're using a proxy/nfs/qntc in the first place? Why not just get the document directly from it's source? Or store the PDF docs on the HTTP server?

Hello,

I was curious as to the group's experience serving static content
from the following: reverse proxy, QNTC and NFS.

Current Config: We have a web box (as/400 v5r4) running apache.
Currently it serves pdf content from another web server (also running
apache) via a reverse proxy. We have been encountering some
performance issues which I believe are tied to this setup.

I do have other options for serving this data, such as dropping the
reverse proxy, and map an IFS path to the other machine with either
NFS or QNTC.

Does anyone have any input as to which provides better performance?

Thank you for your input.
Jeff
