-* when you want to do virtual hosting for multiple customers.  For static content, AOLserver is fine - you're just serving static content.  For dynamic, server-side functionality, to get the level of privilege separation necessary, you'd have to run a separate nsd per customer to ensure that one customer can't access the content/data of another's.  There are apparently some folks out there who have set up AOLserver just this way and are doing just this.

 * when your main application makes heavy use of cgi-tools or other scripting languages like PHP or Phython (in general: where currently no active dedicated maintainer for corresponding modules is known)

 The key here is "MAY" -- AOLserver (currently, as of 4.0.10) chooses not to assume a Keep-Alive connection unless the client explicitly requests it by sending "Connection: Keep-Alive" in the HTTP request header.  This may change in the future (HTTP/1.1 requests default to Keep-Alive unless the client explicitly sends "Connection: close" -- apparently this is how Apache works).

 Here's the relevant portion of a message [[Dossy Shiobara]] sent to the AOLserver mailing list back on 16 June 2000:
