By the way, if you do have any luck with supporting SCTP as a module, and especially if you end up integrating at all with mod_spdy, I'd be very interested to hear more about it!

How to fail in case of an error
Hi, what is the recommended way for a module to fail the start of Apache, if the module cannot be started (e.g. due to a configuration problem)? Many thanks Markus
