Httpd 2.2.2 Internal dummy connection

I

Guest
Hi all,

I have a problem of performance in Linux Server. I don't know why but this linux server have a seriously problem of stability. Then i was reviewing httpd logs when i found a lot of this kind of entries:

Code:
::1 - - [21/Oct/2007:12:31:18 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 403 3931 "-" "Apache/2.2.2 (Fedora) (internal dummy connection)"

I found in some webs information about optimal setup to avoid this. These webs explain the normal setup to a normal-busy server.

Code:
[B]StartServers[/B]    16
[B]MinSpareServers[/B]   8
[B]MaxSpareServers [/B]  64
[B]MaxClients [/B]       256
[B]MaxRequestsPerChild[/B]  4000

And these ones are the actually setup of MPM-prefork

Code:
<IfModule prefork.c>
StartServers       8
MinSpareServers    50
MaxSpareServers   20
ServerLimit      1024
MaxClients       1024
MaxRequestsPerChild  4000
</IfModule>

Here i found the work and prefork concept. I don't know what these mean. The only i sure know is that my apache is in prefork mode(httpd -V). So i understand that the interesting files to my httpd.conf setup are those start after

Code:
##Server-Pool Size Regulation (MPM specific)
##
# prefork MPM

Its very strange because this server don't have a large amount of traffic. Only have a some WordPress blogs, one or two SMF forums and little more. So is for my a great problem because i can't explain the inestability of system.

I will continue finding information about this issue. Any help will be very helpul. Thanks :)
