<name>MaxRequestsPerThread</name>
<description>Limit on the number of requests that an individual thread
will handle during its life</description>
<syntax>MaxRequestsPerThread <var>number</var></syntax>
<default>MaxRequestsPerThread 0</default>
<contextlist><context>server config</context></contextlist>
<usage>
<p>The <directive>MaxRequestsPerThread</directive> directive sets
the limit on the number of requests that an individual server thread
will handle. After <directive>MaxRequestsPerThread</directive>
requests, the thread will die. If <directive
>MaxRequestsPerThread</directive> is <code>0</code>, then the thread
will never expire.</p>
<p>Setting <directive>MaxRequestsPerThread</directive> to a
non-zero limit has two beneficial effects:</p>
<ul>
<li>it limits the amount of memory that a thread can consume
by (accidental) memory leakage;</li>
<li>by giving threads a finite lifetime, it helps reduce
the number of threads when the server load reduces.</li>
</ul>
<note><title>Note:</title>
<p>For <directive module="core">KeepAlive</directive> requests, only
the first request is counted towards this limit. In effect, it
changes the behavior to limit the number of <em>connections</em>
per thread.</p>
