Is this actually true (at least the Apache part)?  Under mod_perl (I'm a 
mod_python total newbie), object persistence can be accomplished in several 
ways including global variables that remain in shared memory (but this is 
only within a single child), a database, in an in-memory or on-disk cache, or 
in a session (just an interface to a cache or database).  Depends on your 
definition, but Apache, it seems to me, is absolutely suited to allow object 
persistence.
