Date: Mon, 26 Jan 1998 13:01:21 -0800 (PST) If the memory isn't returned to the os when apache dies there's not really much we can do... that sounds like an OS bug. Have you tried asking in solaris/x86 specific newsgroups? (I'm not sure if any exist.) When you say you tried "all versions of apache", does that include 1.3b3? Do you have HostnameLookups on? Is there a DNS server on your box? Have you tried getting rid of nscd? (it caches hostname lookups, which is usually a bad idea on a box doing a lot of namelookups) Is NFS involved in any way? Does the error_log say anything odd? Dean
