You can trigger a restart inside of httpd2 (a graceful)... which is an optimal solution. Even if mod_proxy_ajp doesn't immediately support it, why not start with mod_jk? We play lots of twisted games in mod_snmp to cause dynamic configuration, recycle within the child, etc. It -can- be done. In any case, 2.4 is the next window, seeing the door close rather quickly here on 2.2 httpd.
