I'm setting up a media server running Apache on an Large Amazon EC2 instance. What should the Server-Pool Size parameters be on the server to maximize performance. I am receiving between 100 - 300 requests per second and want to make sure these parameters are setup correctly.<br />
<br />
Any other performance tweaks in the httpd.conf would be much appreciated.<br />
<br />
THANKS IN ADVANCE!<br />

I'm creating an Apache media server and need some help tuning the httpd.conf

The Apache HTTP Server is a secure, efficient and extensible server that provides HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP standards. Typically Apache is run on a Unix-like operating system, but it is available for a wide variety of operating systems, including Linux, Novell NetWare, Mac OS-X and Windows. Released under the Apache License, Apache is open-source software.

Apache Web Server

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
