it's a preforking apache MPM. it works like the standard
apache2-mpm-prefork except that it runs particular vhosts as a
particular uid.

IIRC (which may be wrong), once it runs an apache process as a
particular user, that process can only service requests for that
vhost/user...it stays around until apache's process limit rules kill it.


i use it as my standard apache2 mpm these days. install it as a matter
of routine on web servers, and expect i will contrinue to do so except
there's a particular need for one of the threading servers (i haven't
had such a need yet).
