MaxRequestsPerThread Directive

Description: Limit on the number of requests that an individual thread will handle during its life
Syntax: MaxRequestsPerThread number
Default: MaxRequestsPerThread 0
Context: server config
Status: MPM
Module: beos

Note:

For KeepAlive requests, only the first request is counted towards this limit. In effect, it changes the behavior to limit the number of connections per thread.
