I currently have 3 web servers, each dual 2.4 xeon's with 6 gig of ram, all load balanced. However, I am expecting anywhere from 2000 to 4000 users on my servers at any given time within the next few weeks, therefore I am trying to make apache more efficient. It would be nice to make each server handle 1000 requests.

However - within %tree%/server/mpm/prefork/prefork.c, you'll notice that DEFAULT_SERVER_LIMIT is set to 256 if a different definition isn't passed at compile time. It also has a MAX_SERVER_LIMIT of 20000. You'll either need to modify the source or pass a compile-time definition for DEFAULT_SERVER_LIMIT. You could do this within the source or the SPEC, or just compile it yourself. Note - Red Hat's Apache still uses the prefork MPM for greater compatability. If you do choose to recompile, you may want to try recompiling Apache using the worker mpm (the RPM spec for 2.0.40 defaults to prefork). This may allow the greater scalability that you're looking for. Note - the limit for worker.c is only 16 servers, but remember that each server can launch up to 64 threads by default (can also be increased at compile time), which would yield 1024 simultaneous connections/users. I would suspect your machine would be crawling to a halt by this point. Unless you have a really beefy machine, I'd advise you to consider multiple servers w/ load balancing.
