For what it is worth, Apache 2.2.x and later introduce support for http accept() filtering on platforms which support httpfilter. Since Apache 2.0.x, AcceptEx is supported on Win32 to pend accept() for at least the initial request payload. Of course this is not without some resource utilization for the incomplete request payloads, but at least it does offload the resources from the web server itself to the kernel socket layer. Bill
