But wait a minute... doesn't the scoreboard entry (hopefully) outlive
the request_rec?  So that part of the scoreboard information would only
last until the request_rec's lifetime ended.  I assume that's why a
string copy is done already for the similar situation of storing the
client's address...

Yes, but when a request isn't in progress the request_req and the
associated server name become irrelevant; ap_update_child_status
will have been called with a NULL request_rec.
