I assume this is something I would tell the host, right? Help me understand the suggestion: Is it that Apache is typically configured to write the access and error logs as open files? And if it is reconfigured as you suggest, then these operations would not count as open files? If this be true, what is the downside? I.E., why did he not configure it that way in the first place? I'm just trying to get smart so I can have an intelligent conversation with the host. Thanks Tony
