Dear all,

We have a web application with about 5000 hits per second.
The apache server is running on Red Hat AS 4.x with version 2.0.52 and prefork MPM.

The question I have is, how I should configure prefork to manage this amount of requests.

I had something like that in mind:

<IfModule prefork.c>
 StartServers 100
 MinSpareServers 10
 MaxSpareServers 10
 ServerLimit 8000
 MaxClients 5120
 MaxRequestsPerChild 2000
</IfModule>

As the requests are only some kind of "ping" do I also plan to disable KeepAlive.

Do you think this will work, or do you have any other suggestion?

Thanks and all the best,
Si
