	The max-requests parameter to KeepAlive in core.html is confusing me.

	"number of requests ... per request." is unclear -- does 
anyone here have a clarification? Is it URL requests per Keep-Alive 
request, or something else?

	Also, is this max-requests parameter equivalent to 
MaxKeepAliveRequests? Does this value default to unlimited?


						Thanks,

Should be "numer of requests ... per connection."

Yes.  It defaults to 5 in Apache 1.1 which use
KeepAlive 5
and it defaults to 100 in 1.2+ which use
KeepAlive On
MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
