Sharing data between apache processes.

[Vinod Mehra <vi...@beasys.com>]

When we run the apache server it creates multiple threads (processes) and 
as the number of concurrent request increases it goes on creating new threads 
and bringing them down during the period of inactivity. Now I have a module 
in which I maintain a state. What is the best way to share the state between 
different instances of the module (in different threads of apache)? What is
the 
best way to cause min performance hit?

Any pointers on this will be a great help.

TIA,
-Vinod.

see mod_ssl it does this using a library called "mm" from rse.
