WAN Terminals vs Webserver Question

Hey all,

We are growing our database and gathering more remote users accessing our database, and running into issues.  A number of them have sub-standard internet connections, with a low upload speed of 1.5 MBPS (or lower), and as a result, it bogs everyone out and causes all sorts of headaches.

I'm looking at the option of utilizing Sesame's Webserver option and building an HTML page that duplicates the use of our database, but before I do that, can I ask has anyone tried this, and is it a better result for reducing database congestion?

Thanks!
Blair

A third option: use the API and an Apache webserver.

Sesame's built in webserver is a convenience, but really not a sufficient for high demand or high security. Apache, on the other hand, is proven to manage thousands, maybe millions, of simultaneous connections. The API gives your CGI scripts (the code behind a web form) the ability to interact with the Sesame server.
