LimitRequestFields[ize]/LimitRequestLine are inherited from the base server config early during the parsing of the <VirtualHost tag.
This means LimitRequestFieldsize at the bottom of your config can be unexpectedly not applied to earlier VirtualHosts Any objections to merging these via ap_fixup_virtual_hosts(): http://people.apache.org/~covener/trunk-limit_req_scope.diff ...and fixing doc on two points: 1) these options are accepted in VirtualHost context 2) when used in name-based VirtualHosts, LimitRequestFields[ize]/LimitRequestLine are only effective in the default virtual host -- Eric Covener [EMAIL PROTECTED]
