Is there somewhere we can find a list of useful options like these? 
I've been playing with the CHILD/OPEN/MEM maximum entries, but would
love a more in depth description of the settings and what to do with
them.

I'm also running a "busy" web server on a system with 96 megs ram/etc,
and a decent ammount of CGI going on.  Occasionally I run into weird
problems (limitations on CGI processes, hanging on incoming http
connections (may be the Netscape Comm. Server that I'm running.)

Thanks in advance,
