I installed it on a local linux server, but it was crashy there, but that's probably because of something other than lighttpd. Its an old server that is really mainly just for backing shit up. lighttpd has run flawlessly so far on my remote server. One of these days I'll get around to putting some tgp galleries on it and seeing how well it works out under a load.
I also read something about trip pages under lighttpd, but havent had time to reallly look into it. Is that what you were referring to?
That was one of the ideas I was going to look into further, as well as some weird iptables and proxy stuff, but the idea to dynamically rewrite the .htaccess for allow/deny was a whole lot simpler, at least under apache.
