The way how a connection is initialized, using a socket, is part of the specification. Providing a port isn't.

These are standard options of mod_cgid? http://httpd.apache.org/mod_fcgid/mod/mod_fcgid.html#fcgididletimeout And also look for fcgidmaxprocesses, fcgidmaxrequestsperprocess, fcgidprocesslifetime Also check this: http://www.fastcgi.com/drupal/node/6?q=node/22#S4.1 The FastCGI process should return how many connection and requests it can handle. I'm not sure anymore if FastCGI of fpc can handle muliple requests at a time.

I tried to find it, but now I remember that I looked for this earlier and coudn't find it. Probably because it isn't part of the FastCGI standard.

I don't want the server to control my application instance. Because you don't trust IIS? ;) Joost. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
