I'm just wondering, is it wrong/bad/unusual for Apache (specifically 2.2.3 with prefork mpm) to allow the number of idle/spare servers to drop below the MinSpareServers setting? It doesn't seem to be an issue, but we're specifically setting:
MinSpareServers 5 In its config file, but if I look at the mod_status page it has insisted that there are only 4 idle for the last 2 hours or so. It's under very light load at the moment if that matters (as in 1 request active). It's on a REHL 5.3 x86)_64 if that matters. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
