Anyway, despite having the prefork mpm set with a limit of 6, my watchdog process (monit) will report process count shooting up over 50. I can't figure out how apache is letting itself get so many processes spinning out of control. Monit then restarts the server and everything is fine again until the next surge of page requests.
my Prefork MPM is setup as such:
StartServers 3
MinSpareServers 3
MaxSpareServers 6
MaxClients 80
MaxRequestsPerChild 2500
MaxSpareServers is the maximum number of *spare* servers, that is, servers that are not serving clients but are instead sitting there doing nothing. MaxClients is the parameter which controls the maximum number of (busy or idle) Apache processes.
