this is turning out to be exactly what i was searching for.  quick question 
regarding variable initialization.  if i declare a global variable and assign 
it 
a value within the child_init hook it appears that each child contains a 
separate instance of the variable.  is this correct?

i have tested this theory using the following

int pid = 0;

// registered handler for children
static void child_handler(apr_pool_t *p, server_rec *s) {
    pid = (int)getpid();
    apr_pool_cleanup_register(p, (void *)s, pool_cleanup, child_cleanup);
}

// registered handler for HTTP methods
static int method_handler(request_rec *r) {
    fprintf(stderr, "method_handler called for pid (%d)\n", (int)getpid());
    fprintf(stderr, "pid initialized within child_handler (%d)\n", pid);
    fflush(stderr);
}

// cleans up pool resources
apr_status_t pool_cleanup(void *data) {
    fprintf(stderr, "pool_cleanup called for pid (%d)\n", (int)getpid());
    fflush(stderr);
}

// cleans up child resources
apr_status_t authenticator_child_cleanup(void *data) {
    fprintf(stderr, "child_cleanup called for pid (%d)\n", (int)getpid());
    fflush(stderr);
}

// declares the handlers for other events
static void register_hooks (apr_pool_t *p) {
    ap_hook_handler(method_handler, NULL, NULL, APR_HOOK_MIDDLE);
    ap_hook_child_init(child_handler, NULL, NULL, APR_HOOK_MIDDLE);
}

your register_hooks function.
