How does apache spawn new children .. is it one per web request.
So if a browser requests a page it will make a new child for the tcp
conversation (say )
browser ipaddr:12340 GET index.html -> webserver ipaddr:80
webserver ipaddr:80 index.html -> browser ipaddr:12340
is one Apache child
then if the same browser makes a new request you would see
browser ipaddr:12341 GET index.html -> webserver ipaddr:80
webserver ipaddr:80 index.html -> browser ipaddr:12341
would be a new apache process ( or is that child ? )
Cheers
