C# website, am I forced to use IIS?

I've been thinking for a while about which language to use on my next project. Usually I 开发者_JS百科default to PHP on my LAMP server, but I'd really like to use C# (mainly because of code reuse), and ideally still sicking with Apache. Has anyone used mod_mono on a live project, and if so what is the performance like? The site is likely to get smashed to bits in terms of traffic.

Am I forced to go IIS if I want C#? If not I'll stick to PHP via LAMP as usual.

The answer is "no, one is not forced to use IIS for a C# website". The suggestions above are mostly in alpha/beta development stage however and so using c# for a production website isn't advisable yet.
