A known use case is large numbers of zones for virtual hosting. What if in different zones the respective admins want to install different versions of mod_foo.so? One might say apxs -i is not supported in that case, which admittedly is an option. But there is a desire to make all supported features compatible with zones. (I know such zone problems already exist elsewhere, but new projects shouldn't be adding to the set.) -- Jyri J. Virkki - jyri.virkki at sun.com - Sun Microsystems
