We are running apache 1.3.9 with mod_SSL. Our site is being brought to its knees at least once a week lately. The server is spawning around 250 httpd processes. Normal usage<br>is around 40 - 50 children. <br>Is it possible we are being hit by a DoS attack, or are there any SSL/Apache issues which may be linked to our<br>problem?<br><br>Thanks in advance<br>jacko<br>
