Filmaker states, "               Set up a RAIC by adding more copies
                                           of FileMaker Pro 5 Unlimited
to
                                           provide scalable load
balancing and
                                           fault
tolerance.                                      "

The graphic then shows a one to one relationship between web browsers
and RAIC computers behind a web server and in front of a filemaker
Server.

Has anyone tried this, and if they have, how does its performance
compare to a Lasso based system or professional system such as Oracle.

Has anyone used the apache server as a secure layer.  Does it make all
data transfers secure?

I have set up a RAIC. I don't have any benchmarks.

No data is returned from the web companion to the users browser. If SSL is
implemented correctly on apache your data will be secure.
