Thanks for the quick reply. I have found this Event MPM for httpd. Is it
possible to use this for my scenario?

Only from reading the description, I would say that you will need to
extend the mpm to meet your needs. You need asynchronous processing to
be triggered by a module, Event MPM does async for specific core cases.
My earlier spiel was about a possible technique that you could use.
Instead of creating a new thread pool as you were suggesting earlier -
you could just reuse the "worker" thread pool - with the most time
intensive activity - waiting for i/o handed off to 1 single dedicated
thread, freeing the workers to handle other requests.
Also, hacking your own mpm may not work in your case if you are shipping
a module to others.
