SSL session reuse (connection pooling)

[Michael.Beadle@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

When using the following setup in the vhost,
how to you implement SSL session reuse. The documentation seems to indicate
that it is on by default, however when running a jmeter test did not see
any long lived connection that looked like they were being reuse. There
were lots of short lived connections. I played with some of the options
like disablereuse and did not see any change in behavior of sessions.

<Proxy balancer://devtcssltest>
    BalancerMember https://server1:8102
route=TestJSSE2A1 loadfactor=1 
    BalancerMember https://server2:8102
route=TestJSSE2B1 loadfactor=1
    ProxySet lbmethod=byrequests
stickysession=JSESSIONID|jsessionid timeout=30
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /WebMonitorTestApp balancer://devtcssltest/WebMonitorTestApp

The end result I am looking for is smaller
pool of longer lived sessions that are shared by many user sessions, to
cut down on SSL session setup overhead. Is there something with the balancer
directive that I need to configure? Does connection reuse not work with
this configuration?
