Regarding MaxRequestsPerChild, what would be a reasonable range of
values to limit memory consumption a bit in a Windows 2000 environment
where Apache 2.2.4 is being used to serve a small very low traffic web
site and blogs via DSL? I've been seeing httpd plateau at about 187MB,
which seems a bit much for the intended purpose.

I don't believe there are any known memory leaks in apache httpd. But
it wouldn't be unusual for memory usage to increase somewhat over time
since some requests require more memory than others and it is usually
impossible to return memory to the OS. It shouldn't continue to rise
indefinitely. Memory leaks might be present in some module that you
using with apache.
You can, of course, recycle processes occasionally by setting
MaxRequestsPerChild to some not-too-small number.
Other than that, I'm not sure what question you are really asking.
Joshua.
