-1.
the concept is ok, but the implementation sucks.
you've just allowed arbitrary code to do such broken things as set
ap_daemons_min_free to be greater than ap_daemons_max_free... or lots of
other brokenness.
a more correct approach would be to call functions supplied by the MPM to
modify those parameters.
assuming the MPM you're referring to even has such a parameter ;)
this would fall naturally out of the XML RPC-type scoreboard i was
suggesting a while back :)
