We have some independent servers, connected behind a hardware balancer. Each one of the machines is running Apache 2.2, Tomcat 5.0 and mod_proxy_ajp as the connector. Everything works fine, but when Tomcat is shutdown, Apache returns error code 503 (as it's expected to do, I guess). The problem is our load balancer, which doesn't interp...
How do you build your own FastCGI interface in PHP? I'd like to do something similar to what they're doing in Perl, but in PHP. Is it even possible? Would it be faster?

Note: I originally asked this question on serverfault.com but only got one response so far, and the more I think about it, the more I realise it is probably better on stackoverflow.
