Doh!  And in external mode, it doesn't start any instances of your
application.  I'm using external mode because it's the only way I can
find to make mod_fastcgi to use TCP sockets, rather than Unix sockets
(which I don't have easy access to in my environment).

So, is it the case that mod_fastcgi can only make multiple requests
simultaneously for local apps communicating over Unix sockets?

If so, that seems like a pretty severe limitation -- even if you app
speaks Unix sockets, what if you want to run it on another machine for
load-balancing?  If it can only get one request at a time, that's going
to wipe out most of the benefit of the external server, isn't it?

Thanks,
