Seema 1. I was wondering, for simplicity sake, should we not compile the apache httpd in the same way for both MPM models. This would allow us to use same configure script and change only line '--with-mpm' depending on which model we build. This way, going forward, if we need to add another MPM support (say Solaris specific), we don't introduce any different compilation options. 2. In your prototype, did you explore the need to bundle apxs separately (one for prefork and worker) ? Say a customer wanting to compile his third party apache module - foo , does he need to know what is the MPM model currently configured ? I am hoping that this is transparent to the customer and can simply use apxs irrespective of the MPM mode. But, just wanted to ensure that we took this issue into account.
