Which might be part of the problem. After only handling 1000 requests, a child process will /start/ to exit - but it can't really go away until all its current requests have completed. So if this is happening too often, you can end up with a lot of "extra" child processes waiting for requests to complete, and tying up memory. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
