Christopher u r a GEM. Thanks christopher for explaining the basics so passionately & nicely.
I have some more trivial questions pls share your brilliance on that as well & help many more like me to learn the concepts ;- In my environment i am using Apache 2.2 & Tomcat 6.0 version . @ Both of these are multi-threaded right? @ what does apache prefork means? @ is there a way to check apache or tomcat is multi-threaded or only documentation is the way out ? At Apache level:- MaxClients - this is no. Of connections an apache can accept, so does this is for apache as a whole or is it refers to each child process of apache? @ so commection_pool_size doesnt need to be set if i want all my requests to be redirected to tomcat in case of multithreaded apache . Default value is one . Right ? ****************£************ Lc = number of connections each load balancer can handle Tc = L * Lc ****************£************ As per your above comment , can i consider Lc value as the Maxclients value ?
