To add a bit more: "How many connections can my xyz handle 'DOING ABC'?". This can vary differently enough to make anybody's assumptions completely out of the ballpark. More or less, you need to me much more specific with your question. Most times, you won't get numbers from us anyhow. More-so you will find that we can tell you why you're not getting the performance you want, or something like that. If you just want to know that apache is reliable and scaleable, look up general benchmarks as dant says. Keep in mind. They are general bookmarks. They are not your application. The only accurate numbers you can go by are your own application benchmarks.
