Alex - thank you for the reply. If in the context of this directive became idle means "done processing the previous request" then how is the pconn_lifetime directive different than the client_idle_pconn_timeout and server_idle_pconn_timeout (other than affecting both at the same time)? If my question doesn't make sense, then perhaps what I'm asking is better stated as: how do the pconn_lifetime and client_idle_pconn_timeout interact?
