Indeed, this was the holy grail of Apache 2.0 for shared web hosts. Alas 2.0 came, and as of yet has not delivered. Here's the relevant info: http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/perchild.html The Summary: "This module is not functional. Development of this module is not complete and is not currently active. Do not use perchild unless you are a programmer willing to help fix it." If they ever get this going, it will be a very happy day for many folks. And I think you're right, this would help a TON with the whole php-vpopmail extension issues. Paul -- Paul Oehler NEXCESS.NET Internet Solutions http://nexcess.net 304 1/2 S.
