Can anybody please tell me why this is happening. Also there are multiple processes for my single client(same IP) of which maximum are idle. are these processes means connection or there is a single connection starting many processes. I am having max connection =200 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
