one recommendation would be to set your max # of apache children to something
less than the amount of connections you can handle on postgresql. for
example, if you can only handle 1000 connections, set the max # of children
per server to say 245 (leave 20 slots for super user connections).
one thing I do wonder about is just how much ram (or how little) you have
available. istm 1200 connections should not run you out of memory on a
dedicated db machine.

yeah... I often recommend not using persistent connections in php since they
tend to cause trouble :-)

RIght... pgpool basically acts as an intermediary, so everything connects to
the pool, which then forwards on requests to the database. I would think
reducing the number of apache children would work better, but this might be
worth a shot since your mixing pg_connect and pg_pconnect between servers. If
you do please report back your experience to the list :-)
