Restart or Reload after changing MaxClients and ServerLimit

["Cohen, Laurence" <lcohen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I need to increase my httpd server's MaxClients and ServerLimit.  Can I just do a

service httpd reload

to load the new settings?

Or do I need to do a

service httpd restart

to load the new settings?

This is on a production server with active users, so obviously the former is preferable.

Thanks,

Larry Cohen
