Do you have any concern with FastCGI on IBM i?
I guess I am not familiar enough with non-IBM i FastCGI to answer that so I
will leave that to the bit-twiddelers to respond. From my vantage point it
appears pretty much intact. But as with anything IBM delivers, I do not
think the source code is released for IBM i. The config files can be found
in the default directory /www/zendsvr/conf.
Regarding FastCGI and PHP on IBM i. If you choose to use Zend Server, you
WILL use FastCGI. Zend Core had two Apache servers and with Zend Server we
no longer have the second Apache instance. So, with Core there is no
FastCGI, nor is there PHP 5.3 or a life expectancy beyond June 2011. With
Zend Server there is a future but only with FastCGI.
Anyone looking to roll their own PHP on IBM i can choose the implementation
that makes the most sense to them. If I remember correctly, Rob Ward used
ODBC to enable PHP to run in PASE and provide the connection to Apache and
the web server. I'm not sure how that performed, but I believe it worked.
Do you have any concern with FastCGI on IBM i?

Does FastCGI for IBMi differ from non-IBMi?
Also, is it necessary for running PHP on IBMi?

On general principle, PTF early and often. But seriously, there are nolazy
"formal" pre-req's for 7.1 as FastCGI is built in to the OS.
HOWEVER! FastCGI is new and IBM is creating PTF's for this on a regular
basis. So, it would behoove you to make sure you are current on ALL your
Group and Cumulative PTF's. I could give you a list but I am WAY too
for that. Especially the group for PASE and HTTP. Please do not ask methe
for a level because all I will do is go to the IBM website and tell you
current level I see out there. Relax, it works. But like any newcurrent
technology there is always room for improvement. Plus, you already know
what kind of perfectionists those Rochester folks can be! :-)
On other releases V5R4 through i6.1.x you should only need to apply
Group and Cumulative PTF's and the FastCGI PTF's should be included.http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/sline003.NSF/GroupPTFs?OpenView&view=GroupPTFs
