You'll need to be using Mono 1.1.7 (once it's released, Bill Middleton
has been working aginst SVN fixing numerous problems...  Bill rocks), a
recent FreeBSD -CURRENT, and Mono libmapped to libthr.

As for the relationship between Apache/mod_mono/XSP, I believe mod_mono
just passes pages to the local xsp to process the page.  XSP can also be
run as a standalone server to accept the page requests and process the
aspx pages.  I'll know more once I actually have the ability to play
with it.

In the future, you might want to use the bsd-sharp-list mailing list on
Novell Forge for questions on Mono and XSP.  Checked the link in my sig.
Thanks.
