Try this settings - 1) <IfModule mpm_prefork_module> StartServers 20 MinSpareServers 20 MaxSpareServers 50 ServerLimit 1000 MaxClients 1000 MaxRequestsPerChild 100000 </IfModule> 2) As Jim suggsted - Timeout should be maybe 10 and KeepAliveTimeout maybe 3. increase MaxKeepAliveRequests to higher no. may be 600 3) Make sure Tsung is using keepalive aonncetions Let's know how it goes?
