maxProcessors

[Dean Hiller <dh...@avaya.com>]

excuse me in my ignorance, but it has been a while and I have  forgotten how webservers work.

How does a typical webserver work as far as a few threads waiting on accept() for incoming connections?  Is the socket created/teardown every time a user goes to a different page?

Now that the basics are out of the way, what is maxProcessors for?  If I set it to 10 let's say, am I only going to be allowed 10 simultaneous requests from browsers, that next request will be refused if the load is too high.
thanks for any info you can provide,
Dean
