And, my point back to you is that should be part of the documentation of the module NOT of httpd-2.0. Making broad statements that will confuse our users like "threaded MPMs may not be suitable for serving up dynamic content" is a ridiculously overbroad and inaccurate statement. A better statement may be: "Some PHP or Perl modules may not interact well with a threaded MPM in httpd-2.0. Caution is urged when using a threaded MPM." To me, that totally belongs in the PHP or Perl documentation. That is a limitation of PHP and mod_perl not of httpd-2.0. That statement doesn't hold for a mod_jk2 (or whatever the latest httpd-2.0 Tomcat module is). It totally depends on how the 3rd party module is architected not on the architecture of the web server itself. -- justin
