Lighttpd + Mono NAS

InfiniteMonkeys

New Around Here
I have a web site with one page that is developed in ASP.NET. I understand that for *nix to run ASP.NET, mono has to be added to lighttpd. So far I have not found anyone who has successfully loaded lighttpd+mono or otherwise run ASP.NET from my existing NAS, a DNS-323.

I have many options, having built literally thousands of Unix/Linux boxes, and thousands more Windows servers and workstations, but I want a low-power, always-on device that satisfies my two main needs:
  1. Serve my website with robust services, including ASP.NET
  2. Allow the use of a variety of DLNA services for local media use

So my main question is what consumer/smb grade NAS (i.e. reasonably priced, but quality) has anyone configured as a web-server that can serve ASP.NET pages via lighttpd+mono or other combined services? I prefer a NAS that has very efficient power, and a minimum of two and preferrably four or more SATA drive bays (for RAID 5 configuration).

If anyone knows of NAS that satisfies these criteria, please let me know.

Thanks 1,000,000
 
On the tangent to your response... you could use the web server in HomeSeer (homeseer.com) on a very small/low power platform (Intel Atom mini-ITX or a laptop). That web server supports asp, VBscript, and the other Windows Scripting Host (WSH) languages.
that's what I use - and have server-side VBS, ASP, and server side java script within web pages for dynamic HTML content.
 
None that I know of. If there were, QNAP, Synology, Thecus or NETGEAR ReadyNAS would be the most likely candidates and quick Googling didn't reveal any obvious references.
