Indeed, when I was working at Ision we were using proper Sun boxes  
for web serving the thousands of customers that we had.  In addition  
we used the commerical Zeus web server for it too - and never had a  
problem with scability or performance.  I was on a much higher salary  
there in comparison to where I am now.  Now that I'm working mainly  
with Linux it's actually much more difficult to get back to that kind  
of level.

Sad, but true.
