What would you suggest. I would suggest that as you get nailed, it's going to be too busy keeping 256 more servers FREE than acutally serving all the requests that are inbound. MaxSpareServers can certainly be kept quite high if you have all that ram available, but MinSpareServers is the edge level at which apache is busier forking off spares rather than taking care of your incoming requests. The default value was probably right. StartServers can also be set quite high so that your forking is all going on long before the traffic gets to your site. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
