I have a webserver with eZpublish with high traffic of images an swf files . I need to put these files on another web server with a wide band, but I want to mantain the core of eZpublish on current server. There is a way to move only the /var (or /var/storage) directory? For a static site, a good idea should be to use the mod_rewrite of apache, but with eZpublish I need to sync the remote var directory with local changes. Maybe using mod_rewite to redirect /var urls and rsync to sync a local var directory with a remote one should be an efficent solution... Any idea or suggest?
Thx in advance!

Hello Salvatore,
You should try reverse proxy:http://ez.no/developer/articles/using_the_squid_reverse_proxy_to_improve_ez_publish_performance

You may also consider nginx (http://wiki.codemongers.com/Main) or Varnish (http://varnish.projects.linpro.no/) or a combination of both.
