For a small website thttpd and micro_httpd are both good.
I like chttpd. It is very small and compact and fast, and ideal for an
embedded device. Unfortunately it contains a bug which causes images not to
display if the trailing slash is missing from the address. (This probably only
requires a couple of lines of code to be changed or added. An experienced C
programmer would probably be able to fix this in a few minutes.)

If you don't want to fix it, then thttpd is a good stand alone server. The
micro_httpd daemon runs via the internet superserver daemon.
Regards,
Mark.

If you aren't already, I'd suggest looking at OpenWRT, which replaces
the default firmware on the GL. It comes with an extensive packaging
system, from which you can install one of quite a few small web servers
(IIRC the ones mentioned, thttpd and micro_httpd, as well as lighttpd).
I have not configured my 54GL for public web serving, but I have
installed lighttpd with SSL support on it for the OpenWRT web interface,
and their docs are relatively straightforward (they're on the OpenWRT
wiki).
