Dan Cradler wonders:
Is it possible to use the process affinity feature of Fast CGI with with
Apache Module? I would like to use FastCGI to write a database interface
that will be on a very busy server. I need to have 10 or more processes
available to handle requests, each with its own database connection. I
would like to be able to cache user state information in memory so I need
to make sure the user gets the same FCGI process each time they access
the server. I suppose this could be accomplished with either a
multitheaded FCGI app or by using shared memory, but I would like to
avoid the complexity of these approaches. Anyone working on a setup like
this?
The examples/sample-store.c application in the current developer's
kit is an application of the sort you are talking about, and illustrates
the use of session affinity.
mod_fastcgi doesn't support session affinity. Perhaps somebody
can contribute some code?
