Thanks Jim. lighthttpd would certainly help and would meet the current
requirements (vhosts and PHP).
However, the person who owns the server isn't very confident with Linux.
They currently use Plesk. I'd personally want to remove Plesk and do
everything by hand but this probably isn't going to happen. I have no
idea if Plesk can configure lighttpd so this may be a show stopper.
Regards,
David.
