that's great, I put it into the wiki-page.

Is it needed to put it on an extra server - or can it share a server
with a "worker" (=Apache2/PHP/TYPO3)?

I wonder why the reverse proxy is - in the diagram - not on the same
server as the TCP/IP-load-balancer, why is it so? I think just "the
remaining" requests should be forwarded to the "workers".

kind regards
