Yes, yes, that's perfectly fine. The server model that you're probably
used to runs as a single daemon and forks off when a client connects.
The child process then performs the request and terminates.

What Apache's model does is saves the time and expense of forking each
connection by maintaining a pool of children that it can pass the
request to. This means it can process the request faster and cheaper.
