I don't honestly know. The problem is that there are mulitple ways to pass file descriptors between processes based on the Unix that you are using. Assuming FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD all have good thread libraries and that they all support the fd passing mechanism that Liux uses, yes everything will work. IF they don't support the same fd passing logic, then it is a simple matter of implementing the other fd passing logic, which should be easy to do. Assuming I get Perchild working this week, I will try to get it working on a BSD machine that I have as well. If I can't make it work on my BSD machine (because it is FreeBSD), then I will most likely need an account on a Net or Open BSD box. I have recently lost access to most of my different types of machines, and while I'll get some access to new boxes starting next week, it won't be specifically for Apache work.
