And even if all the requests go to backend servers, that wouldn't satisfy the requirement of "max per back-end server", MaxClients would only be a "overall max". (I.e. if I have 4 back-end servers, and want 4 max concurrent connections per server, I could set MaxClients to 16, but Apache could at some point in time send more than 4 concurrent connection to a given back-end server.) > Upcoming httpd 2.4 has loadable MPMs that can be switched out just > like regular modules.

Then I'm looking forward to 2.4!
