[Mod-security-developers] How does it works (e.g. SecServerSignature)?

[Leon F. <leo...@go...>]

Dear List,

to understand the general handling of requests i want 
to ask how the following works.

Lets say i have just this configuration 

<IfModule mod_security2.c>
	SecServerSignature "httpd"
</IfModule>

The docs stated that using SecServerSignature means substitution in memory. 

How to interpret this: 

 Does this mapping happens only one time for each process fork?  

 Or does this happens for every client request?

Thanks for clarification
