[users@httpd] one more on MaxRequestPerChild

Hi All,
Is it possible that Apache launches a new process due to overlaod even
before the MaxRequestPerChild is met?
Thanks

Apache will always try to maintain an idle pool of processes/threads
between Min/MaxSpareServers|Threads, so it will create or kill
processes/threads in order to achieve that. Assuming you have
not hit MaxClients and Apache needs to create more process/threads
to handle the load, yes, it will do do. As things slow down it
will also kill off idle threads/processes to maintain
the correct size idle pool.
