Yes it does. > It that an awful way to do it? No, it's actually quite good, as you'll most likely benefit from even more shared memory usages is the 2 different servers load some of the same DSO modules (mod_mime for instance) > It there a better way? There is always a different way, but better will depend on what you are trying to do. > I've always installed mp2 as a dso - should i not? It's perfectly fine to do so. As a warning, though, there are known issues with mod_perl DSO and FreeBSD's default Perl configuration with usemymalloc you might want to read about [1]. But all in all, you should be just fine. 1. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-modperl&m=112187550627933&w=2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philippe M.
