The module, at http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/branches/2.0.x/server/mpm/experimental/perchild/ was never ported to the API in trunk. It uses unix domain sockets to replicate the request into a per-host process. This is necessary because we don't trust a root process to parse and dispatch the requests. This provides a certain process separation and a more secure model, but had various complications. If it's something you and others would like to work on, I personally have no problem reviving it to trunk/ (once ported to the current API), with the understanding that until it has a small community around its maintenance, it will not hit a release branch. The biggest complication was SSL communications; the protocol level handlers did not have an easy time passing off the request. Perhaps the problemset was wrong - perhaps we didn't want to try to pass these off, only properly isolate the protocol layer from the content layer. Bill
