MaxClients was too low?? Doesn't that default to at least 100 or
something? You are running this on an old 68k box, right? You have RAM
enough for this number of connections? (apache prcesses)? I may be lost,
but I don't see how MaxClients was the culprit (unless you had it set to
less than 10 or something). Be aware that if you set this too high your
whole machine will crash when you run out of RAM/swap. I know, I have done
it.
