I'm guessing that 2.4 is a while out... but that is good to hear that it will be baseline. Having its own balancer would be a plus as well.
I honestly think that a dedicated version of such a thing just for PHP would ease adoption of Apache releases (at least from those whom depend on PHP). I think that the whole process/thread issue ought to be factored out for PHP people (i.e., they should always use FastCGI, but have it managed and setup easily enough that they think it is a straight apache module). But I digress... -s On 2/20/07, Garrett Rooney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

The trunk version of httpd comes with mod_proxy_fcgi, which does provide some level of FastCGI support. -garrett
