I have built a httpd with proxy module included on unix platform.

released and a new connection is established to upstream for next  

request within the same second. I am testing with IE 6.0 with HTTP/ 

1.1 enabled.

I have following directives in httpd.conf

KeepAlive On

KeepAliveTimeout 15

MaxKeepAliveRequests 100

These do not affect the proxy connections, just the connections  

between Apache and the browser.

Since apache 1.3.x proxy does not support connection persistence on  

upstream end, I wanted to see if apache 2.x proxy supports it or  

not. Is it not supported yet in 2.x or am I missing something?

Working fine for me in 2.2.3.  In fact, it was working too fine, and  

I had to turn it off because a firewall between front-end and back- 

end was dropping long-lived TCP connections.
