Despite the technical criticism I already posted, I suppose I might find
it useful to have a cheap load-balancing solution at some time in the
future.

However, I see the 'perchild' mpm as a much more pressing need.  I
looked into WebDav about 12 months ago and several people were looking
for this functionality.  I have looked at the alternatives and none of
them are really attractive.

I would also like to see some low-level technical documentation but I am
afraid that I will find "the code" is that.  I will write some before I
do any work on 'perchild' ... assuming I actually try to do this ... it
won't be a quick project for me.
