[FASTCGI] Configuring FastCGI app

[Alexander Galkin (Audible US)]

I am fine with starting my FastCGI app myself. However, when Apache server is shut down and restarted I want mod_fastcgi to re-connect to the running instance of my FastCGI app.

This is controlled with the FastCGI dynamic parameters (see the man page).

You can't have mod_fastcgi manager you application and expect it to live when 
Apache is shut down.  You have to manage it on your own in that case.
