Igor, I am running Apache 2.2.14. Re-reading the documentation for "max", I see: The default for a Hard Maximum for the number of connections is the number of threads per process in the active MPM. In the Prefork MPM, this is always 1, while with the Worker MPM it is controlled by the ThreadsPerChild. So the default of max in prefork MPM is 1, which doesn't make any sense unless you understand this as "1 per Apache process". So maybe with prefork, the value of max is per process. Since my understanding is that in prefork there each concurrent request is handled by a different process, that max parameter would be useless in prefork MPM. (Hopefully my understanding is not correct!)
