[SlugBug] Apache children spawning

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
