Thanks, I did that bevore posting but did not understand id clearly. There is written:
"Any connections above smax are subject to a time to live or ttl. Apache will never create more than the Hard Maximum or max connections to the backend server." "smax [...] Upto the Soft Maximum number of connections will be created on demand." "max [...] In the Prefork MPM, this is always 1" Because I use mpm-prefork as mentioned, default smax=max=1. Does it make sense to set smax to 0 to get a ttl for the one and only connection? So "zero connections will be created on demand"? Is it bad not to have a ttl for the one and only connection? When will that connection be closed without ttl? When Tomcat connectionTimeout triggers? 2009/4/26 Rainer Jung <rainer.j...@kippdata.de> > Look for "ttl" on page http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html > . > >
