apache run issues - sockets
• #define USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT
• Apache children must call accept() in a serialized manner
to correctly handle multiple sockets (80,443)
• http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/perf-tuning.html
• setsockopt(SO_REUSEADDR) now supported by MPE
• not supported at time of original apache port
• enable this code by removing #ifndef MPE
• setsockopt(SO_KEEPALIVE) exists but still errors out on MPE
• suppress this code with #ifndef MPE
• src/main/rfc1413.c bind() requires INADDR_ANY
• but what about multiple NICs or IP aliasing???
