I have LAN based application that needs to be scaled to wide area access.
My first thought was to switch the backend to SQL7 to minimize the amount
data carried over the wire to these locations and to take advantage of the
power of moving functionality into stored procedures. A traditional Client
Server application.

If I were to move my app to the internet instead, would I have better
performance? Instead of moving the results of SQL queries down the wire to
the client front ends (VFP), I would be sending HTML formatted data back to
a browser. Also, the datasource (VFP or SQL7) will be located on the same
box as the web server. What setup performs better and why?

Thanx, I appreciate your opinons!
