From: Dean Gaudet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Brian Atkins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: general/1428: Increasing number of non-IP virtual hosts drastically increases memory demands Date: Tue, 18 Nov 1997 12:31:51 -0800 (PST) I suspect this is an issue with your config only and not a general problem. For example, I just created a server with 2000 non-IP virtual hosts and it only consumes 4.5Mb RSS, 5.3Mb SZ. Most of that is also shared between the servers... which works well on linux which has optimistic memory allocation; but probably chews swap which is never used on other operating systems (which use pessimistic allocation). If you're duplicating configuration a lot rather than inheriting it from the main server then you're bound to chew a lot of memory, and there is absolutely nothing we can do about it. Your vhosts should be extremely minimal, like this: <VirtualHost a.b.c.d> ServerName foo.com ServerAlias *.foo.com ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] DocumentRoot /www/docroot/foo.com </VirtualHost> Dean
