	I did that, yes... I had recompiled the kernel already according
to that Apache FAQ section before going live with this machine. Here's
my config:

machine         "i386"
cpu             "I386_CPU"
cpu             "I486_CPU"
cpu             "I586_CPU"
cpu             "I686_CPU"
ident           LIONKING
maxusers        256

options         MATH_EMULATE            #Support for x87 emulation
options         INET                    #InterNETworking
options         FFS                     #Berkeley Fast Filesystem
options         NFS                     #Network Filesystem
options         MSDOSFS                 #MSDOS Filesystem
options         "CD9660"                #ISO 9660 Filesystem
options         PROCFS                  #Process filesystem
options         "COMPAT_43"             #Compatible with BSD 4.3 [KEEP THIS!]
options         SCSI_DELAY=15           #Be pessimistic about Joe SCSI device
options         BOUNCE_BUFFERS          #include support for DMA bounce buffers
options         UCONSOLE                #Allow users to grab the console
options         FAILSAFE                #Be conservative
options         USERCONFIG              #boot -c editor
options         VISUAL_USERCONFIG       #visual boot -c editor
#options         MAXMEM=130048		# no longer needed
#options         SOMAXCONN=256           # max pending connects
options         NMBCLUSTERS=4096        # mbuf clusters at 4096
options         CHILD_MAX=512           # maximum number of child processes
options         OPEN_MAX=768            # maximum fds (breaks RPC svcs)


	I had commented out SOMAXCONN for some reason; that wouldn't have
an effect on this, would it?
