There are 3 standard MPMs: Prefork (which is the old 1.3 way),
Worker and Event. Event is the recommended for 2.4.x

What MaxConnectionsPerChild does it to kill off a child
process after it handles 1000 connections. For even moderately
used servers, this causes nasty thrashing as the parent httpd
process is constantly killing off and then recreating perfectly
fine child processes. This directive was originally add long
long ago when there were memory leaks in libs and so you
needed Apache httpd to occasionally kill child processes to
recover that mem.

That's also fine. It really depends on one's environment and
usage pattern if keepalives makes sense or not.
