Lisa, I have to assume that you know how and where to define Fast/List threads (question #1), and that I perhaps misunderstood your real question. Let me share some deeper information on what I believe are your other questions.
1. The minimum number of defined threads will always start and be available, whether in use or not. 2. The threads are stored in the ar.conf/ar.cfg file, which is read and cached at AR System startup. You can turn on thread-level logging to see how many are actually in use at any time. 3. The Min/Max numbers are in the docs - Configuration, I think. 4/5. I'll answer this one based on how a thread processes transactions. My knowledge here might be old, but it's the last thing I heard. Thread #1 will queue up to 5 transaction connections (appropriate to tx type). Once tx #6 comes along, it is bumped to the next thread in line. If there are no other active threads available, AR System will start one unless it is already at its defined maximum number. This continues until the max # of defined threads for that tx type (List/Fast) has been reached. At that point, timeouts will likely occur. I don't think the threads are IP/client specific (i.e. sticky), but I could be wrong about that. I think it's just dealing with the raw transactions. Hope this is what you're looking for!
