We have a dedicated web server.  Can the local (non C/S) version be used on a web server?  How does it handle muliple requests coming in from ASP.Net pages?  I
know the ADO.Net driver is not out yet, but I am wanting to know if the local version could be used on a web server.

Yes.

Well, you would need to use the ODBC Driver or ADO.NET data provider, but
neither of them are ready just yet, so the only other option would be to use
an ISAPI or CGI application.

How does it perform as compared to SQL server in general?  Is it a viable
replacement?

Our informal tests here have shown that EDB is slightly faster than SQL
Server 2005 in most queries, especially with queries on nested views that
are being updated.  However, that is a simple single-user test that doesn't
take into account multiple users and concurrency.  I believe that EDB will
perform as well as SQL Server 2005 until you get in the larger numbers of
sustained concurrent users area (> 80-100).   That's for general-purpose use
with long-duration connections.  Web access with short-duration connections
should perform quite well on EDB even with large numbers of users, primarily
because most of the access is usually read-only and EDB is pretty fast with
respect to connection creation/tear-down.
