extensively by the FreeBSD Project.</para>

<para><package>www/boa</package>:
<application>Boa</application> is a single-tasking HTTP server.
Unlike traditional web servers, it does not fork for each incoming
connection, nor does it fork many copies of itself to handle multiple
connections. Although, it should provide considerably great
performance for purely static content.</para>

<para><package>www/cherokee</package>:
<application>>Cherokee</application> is a very fast, flexible and
easy to configure web server. It supports the widespread technologies
nowadays: FastCGI, SCGI, PHP, CGI, SSL/TLS encrypted connections,
vhosts, users authentication, on the fly encoding and load balancing.
It also generates <application>Apache</application> compatible log
files.</para>

<para><package>www/lighttpd</package>:
<application>lighttpd</application> is a secure, fast, compliant and
very flexible web server which has been optimized for high-performance
environments. It has a very low memory footprint compared to other web
servers and takes care of cpu-load.</para>

<para><package>www/nginx</package>:
<application>nginx</application> is a high performance edge web
server with a low memory footprint and key features to build
a modern and efficient web infrastructure. Features include
a HTTP server, HTTP and mail reverse proxy, caching, load
balancing, compression, request throttling, connection

<para><package>www/thttpd</package>:
If you are going to be serving a large amount of static content
you may find that using an application such as thttpd is more

optimized for excellent performance on FreeBSD.</para>
