Yes, as scary as it sounds - it's true!
Julio César Carrascal Urquijosubmitted a link to a version of the Apache web server that can run ASP.NET web services scripts. The company, Covalent, has created their own ersion of Apache 2.0 that natively supports these scripts. What really happens is that, when the request is made, it passes that ASP.NET page request off to the mod_asp.net interpreter, which in turn does the actual work (outside of Apache) and then returns the information back to the client via the web server.
This is more than a little scary, but still interesting...I'm not sure if it will have that much effect on the comminuty. Probably just a similar reaction that the Chilisoft software (that allows normal ASP pages to be run on Apache) got from the Open Souce Community. (FYI - the Chilisoft software apparently got bought by Sun)
