reverse proxy vs. stand-alone

[jemari]

Hi everyone,

I am setting up a small VPS. My plan is to have nginx as a reverse proxy to apache2 (running with mod-php). All other static files will be served by nginx.

Does anyone know if there would be a significant difference in performance and/or stability if I removed apache, and have nginx use fcgi for php?

Thx.
