I did some research and found out the # MaxClients variable defines the maximum number of concurrent connections. I'd like to know if we can define this variable to something like 2 millions. I'm asking because I'm designing a chat application that people are going to use through a web browser, and the connection to the server will remain open for a minute, then the connection is closed and reopen right away. The community is pretty large (several million people). Using open connections is probably the best way to handle the maximum number of users per server, instead of querying each second for new messages for instance. The only concern I have right now is how Apache behaves with millions of concurrent open connections. Thanks, -- Charles A. Landemaine.
