Resin Servlet Engine with Apache Web server

[Ganapathi Srinivasan]

Hi,
We are currently working with Resin Servlet Engine v1.1.4 with Apache web server 1.3.12 on NT.
In the Resin configuration file resin.conf there are directives <thread-min> and <thread-max>. My question is what exactly do we do by configuring these parameters? Do we specify the number of threads' range for a single servlet instance or is it the threads' range for Resin's communication with Apache?
Moreover in Apache's configuration we have directives like MaxKeepAliveRequests and MAxThreadsPerChild. What are they for?
Can anyone throw light into these?
Thanks and Regards,
Ganp.

Is there anything in the Resin documentation about this?
