In the trunk branch, this was fixed so it would fall back to worker-style MPM when dealing with SSL connections, and I think this has been backported to 2.2, although I'm not sure, we still offload SSL to a different apache. > > If youâre using a 2.2.x event MPM in a production environment, would you > mind reporting your experiences with it? > In a word - 'excellent'. We use apache-event as the front-end to all our web apps, and it mainly serves static files or proxies to the appropriate backend servers. Our sites aren't super-busy, 1-2 million hits a day, but with event we have consistently fast connection and throughput times, the load on the servers barely registers. We've never had a problem with reliability or speed in the 4 years we've been running event MPM on our front end proxies.
