How do I reconcile this against my MPM config of MaxClients = 2048? <IfModule mpm_worker_module> ServerLimit 64 StartServers 32 MaxClients 2048 MinSpareThreads 25 MaxSpareThreads 100 ThreadsPerChild 32 MaxRequestsPerChild 0 </IfModule> I know only 32 slots/line are filled due to ThreadsPerChild. These are beefy Nehalems, should I consider upping ThreadsPerChild? Also, I'm seeing httpd processes created and destroyed (in top) more frequently than I would expect. Is there something awry in the config that would cause this to be so? Finally, this httpd is a front end for a Tomcat instance, via mod_proxy_ajp. Does this fact weigh on any configuration decisions (other than ensuring TC can Handle the same MaxClients?
