A lot of people have talked about running a proxy in front of your mod_perl
processes, well a word of caution, maybe squid is more efficient, but
mod_proxy does a double fork at the end of every request. This is part of the
caching file garbage collection but it happens even if you don't have caching
enabled.
I'm trying it with the second to last line of src/modules/proxy/proxy_http.c
commented out, and it seems to be ok after about an hour.
This should maybe be mentioned in the mod_perl guide with the mod_proxy
recipe.
