maybe you're looking for: http://www.metux.de/mpm

The project has been stalled for quite a while :(
But maybe it's time for revival ?

Perchild *never* worked. The idea isn't bad - we took much of it
into metuxmpm, but there were major design problems. For example:
each childs can accept clients. That's very bad, because it allows
some user to intercept another's requests with some probability.

The whole idea of passing *sockets* (instead of requests) between
processes only works on very few systems, ie. Linux, BSD and 
perhaps some others. So the whole portability issue is useless - 
those MPMs only work some Unix'es, and there evrythere the same.
