It's called MT-Dispatch.  (Hehe).  It has support for the publishing 
queue built in, so that after a dispatch process is finished serving the 
page it disconects the user and calls any maintainance process that are 
waiting before serving the next page.  The dispatcher's parent process 
will respawn any worker processes if one dies.
