Re: [apache-modules] Caching a value for the lifetime of a module: CLUELESS

["P. Asokan" <as...@coolgoose.com>]

Which operating system you are using? If you are using unix os, this problem may be due to the prefork process which will be created to serve for 
each connection. In that case you may have to use shared memory...
