[users@httpd] large httpd process

[James Eastwood <Ja...@businessserve.co.uk>]

Hi All,

I am using apache 1.3.26 with suexec enabled

Compiled-in modules:
  http_core.c
  mod_env.c
  mod_log_config.c
  mod_mime.c
  mod_negotiation.c
  mod_status.c
  mod_include.c
  mod_autoindex.c
  mod_dir.c
  mod_cgi.c
  mod_asis.c
  mod_imap.c
  mod_actions.c
  mod_userdir.c
  mod_alias.c
  mod_access.c
  mod_auth.c
  mod_setenvif.c
suexec: enabled; valid wrapper /var/www/bin/suexec

My problem is that I have about 30'000 vhost's.

When I start apache and do top - I can see the processes are running at 87
meg each.
My box is a Sun T1125 with 1 gig of memory - dual 440 ultra sparc 2's
running Solaris 8.

Is there any way that I can cut down the size of the process?

I was wondering if there is any way to merge suexec with mod_vhosts_alias -
but I couldn't think how..

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
