Thanks Joshua. that url answered my question. I have another question about MaxSpareThreads. If the number of spare threads is over MaxSpareThreads, will Apache parent kill the spare child? If the number of hits to that spare child is still below the limit of MaxRequestsPerChild, will Apache parent still kill it? If two children are running which one should be killed? Thanks Again.
