From: Walden H. Leverich
OK, if I've got that then a given request will be processed by a given
"pre-forked Apache process" and have access to that connection? Then
where does the forking come in?

I think the word "pre-forked" is referring to the additional jobs that the parent Apache process starts initially to handle CGI requests. The jobs are pre-started so that a pool is available to process incoming requests - rather than starting a new CGI job for each new request - which would consume too much time.

The parent process dispatches new requests to any one of the jobs in the pool based on whether the job is ready for a new request - or not. If all the jobs in the pool are busy handling requests - the parent process will start another one or more - up to a configured maximum.

Nathan.
