All children will handle any request. New children are spawned in response to a need rather than a new "type" of request. > This matters because I am setting up multiple web sites and I am wondering > if it is better to have just a few PerlHandlers or to have different ones > per site. If by different sites, you mean different apache servers, then it doesn't make much difference. However, if you are talking about virtual hosting, again any child can handle the request. Sean
