Assuming I intend to run more than one FCGI server program under the apache web server on the same machine, how would I set up apache such that each FCGI server instance spawns as many instances as there are machine cores _but_ apache processes only as many requests as there are cores. In other words, if there are 8 logical cores on the server and supposing I'm running 3 FCGI servers, then there'd be 3 * 8 = 24 instances total of FCGI servers but I'd want apache to only process a maximum of 8 requests at any time. Are my assumptions even correct regarding number of FCGI instances to spawn and maximum number of requests apache should be allowed to process? -- example apache.conf Listen 8080 PidFile apache.pid DocumentRoot .
