The children make no attempt to count the idle servers. Only the parent counts idle servers, and it only does it once per maintenance cycle (default 1 second). It only kills (or starts) one child per cycle, so there's no mass genocide like could happen in the 1.2 code. > Say, why is SERVER_STARTING considered idle in the first place? It isn't, only SERVER_READY is considered idle. Dean
