[users@httpd] MPM module for windows

Hi,

Recently I have installed apache 2.2 on windows 32 bit edition. I just want to understand which mpm module I should use for windows.

As of now we are expecting 6k concurrent user. So what will be the recommended value for the suggested mpm module. Also is there any other method than server-status to monitor apache status?

Cheers,
Vidyadhar

My understanding was that on Windows you can only use the winnt MPM.

My understanding is that you should use the mpm_winnt MPM. On Windows
platforms, this is the only MPM that takes advantage of the operating
system's native capabilities. If you use a different MPM, a POSIX layer
will be used, which one must assume will hinder performance considerably
(and detract from the server's feature-set).

If anyone else knows differently, please chime-in.
