Because you have more than 1 apache process. Each httpd process can cache a connexion handle to each of the databases that it uses. So if you have Max Clients set to 150 mod perl can have 150 connexions open times the number of databases used by your various applications. eg. 4 applications (each using a different db) and 150 Max clients = up to 600 db connexions. Of course all of the above assumes that I am remember things correctly :) Rudy
