Hmmm... in ssl_engine_scache.c, line 375, there is ``if (nExpireCalls++ <
100)'' which means that sessions are expired every 100 HTTPS hits only. You
can reduce the number 100 to 10 or even to 1 to expire more often. This
doesn't shrink the DBM file, but it should prevent it from growing such fast.
Additionally you have to reduce the expire time with SSLSessionCacheTimeout,
because the expiring deletes only entries which were already expired, of
course. Let it me know whether this works for you.
