mod_vhost_maxclients

mod_vhost_maxclinets provides the feature of MaxClients per vhost, no using shared memory and global lock. This module use only scoreboad for stability(no dead-lock), high compatibility and simple implementation.

It supports Apache httpd 2.2.x and 2.4.x, and worker, prefork and event mpm.

If you have a performance issue using mod_vhost_maxclients like over-head of serving static contents, You should use IgnoreVhostMaxClientsExt for ignoring the static contents.

Notice: vhost length in scoreboard is 32 bytes. it's versy short. If you control more length of vhost name by mod_vhost_maxclients, you should apply a patch like example for httpd 2.4.x.
