This is for faster response. It also drops extra servers above that level. If you don't like that and don't mind a delay getting the httpd server into RAM, you can always run it from inetd instead. Full documentation is available at http://www.apache.org , the primary Apache site. -- Ken Are you interested in | byte-sized education | http://www.play-hookey.com over the Internet? |
