MaxRequestsPerChild was unlimited (0), MaxClients was 250; downed from 300 and before that 500 to avoid crashy situations. Now I tried setting MaxReqs to 500 and upping MaxClients a bit again, to see what happens. > are you using any special modules? mod_perl? php? Php3 with MySQL, nothing else. We used SSL a few months ago, but it seemed to cause some overhead in binary size, so I stripped it.
