in reply to PROCESS: Too many child process, serving the connection

I have never used "HTTP::Proxy", but I did have a similar experience with an application that listened on a port and then forked to process the request.

When the requests were coming in for a small number of users, all worked great. So I upped the number of users and after 15-20 minutes the application just crashed. I re-designed the application to pre-fork 4 servers per core, and everything just continues to work without any problem.

What I think happened, was that the perl 'fork' function just couldn't keep up the incoming volume of requests.

Thank you
