[users@httpd] mod_proxy, ProxyPass, smax, ttl

Hi all.

I've been experimenting with HTTPD 2.2.2 and mod_proxy, and I've noticed 

that the smax and ttl options for the ProxyPass directive aren't working 

as I would expect.  I have several such directives of the following 

pattern:

ProxyPass /foo ajp://192.168.6.104:11009/foo smax=0 ttl=30

Everything functions as expected, but if I put a high load on the server 

(100+ simultaneous users) and then remove the load, the number of 

connections from the web server to the proxy servers never declines 

significantly.  The expected behavior is that the now-idle connections 

should be closed after 30 seconds as indicated by the ttl parameter.

Have I misinterpreted the meanings of these parameters, or have I 

encountered a bug?

Thanks for any insights or suggestions.

 - Joel
