But if you are allocating memory for cache entries that are constantly expiring and being purged, the pool will continue to grow until the server is restarted. The pool would end up with stale memory that the system has no way of reclaiming outside of restarting the server. NetWare doesn't have the concept of a child config pool since there are no child processes and therefore no need to use shared memory. Simply restarting a child process is not an option. On NetWare it is all or nothing. Apache is either up and running or not. If you tried to shutdown the process to reclaim memory, you lose the web server.

When the server is restarted, the pool is cleaned up and the cache started from scratch. The purpose of this proposal is the fix the memory leak you mentioned. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
