Advice on writing a module

I'm looking for some feedback on a strategy for writing a module.

The module will require some amount of data to be maintained from 
page hit to page hit, and I'm thinking that because of apache 2's 
multi-process multi-thread model, I'd use a daemon to do the actual 
grunt work for the module and just have the apache module code send 
messages to the daemon, passing the necessary information back and 
forth.

What are the issues that could come up with this type of scenario?

Thanks!
