Do you happen to know why they don't and what do they use? If they are using Apache, I assume they have a custom version that is highly optimized. http://www.serverwatch.com/article.php/3911511/Google-Speeds...

I guess for all fairness, yeah, let's only count public facing. I think with internal proxy nginx will probably be even higher.

Google originally used a modified version of Apache (and, as you have linked to, contributed a module to it), but my understanding is the Google Web Server is now so far removed from Apache it bears virtually no resemblance to it.

I wonder if they ever plan on open sourcing parts of their web server.
