Perlbal as webserver

[Ashish Padave]

Hi,

I was thinking of using perbal to forward requests for static content to 
lighttpd and all php requests to Apache. Can the perbal I am using for 
loadbalancing do the serving for static content? Is this advisable? Is there 
some special configuration?

Thanks

Ashish
