Even so, if you run prefork, you need a proxy server. The reason is explained in detail here: http://www.modperlbook.org/html/12-5-Adding-a-Proxy-Server-in-httpd-Accelerator-Mode.html In short, running a proxy will usually lower the number of mod_perl processes needed significantly. > I had keepalive enabled with a 2 second timeout on > this server until a few seconds ago. That should be fine in worker mode, where the threads don't hold the perl interpreter while they wait for the lingering close, but with prefork mode you should only do this on the proxy server. > Also, I'm using mod_deflate which means I can spare some > bandwidth. That could also go on the proxy server. - Perrin
