Well, you were right in your math -- I made my previous comment before going back and checking the actual numbers, which was really stupid on my part. From the "Congratulations!" email I sent the client:
> ...sustained 100+ requests per second for the last couple of hours; peaks of over 40Mbits of traffic; thousands of simultaneous connections.
So, 1/8th of what you were calculating. Sorry about that.
I use mpm-worker and have keepalives turned off altogether. I also use suexec and fcgid (not fastcgi, unfortunately). I was using mem_cache at the time, but that's off now because it breaks the newest version of Wordpress.
Also, I should have mentioned that this was a static site, so PHP wasn't a factor.
If anybody's still interested in the server config, I'll be happy to share it.
