This, I think provides a clue: I'm guessing we are trying to optimize the client-Apache link, at the expense of opening/closing sockets to the backend, or wasting those sockets. If we had a nice connection pool, then it would be different...
Giving this some very quick thought, I wonder if this is associated with that bug you and I squashed awhile ago: there is no guarantee that the next kept-alive connection will go to the same backend; as such, keeping it open is wasteful and re-using it is downright wrong. We need to look to make sure that there are sufficient checks that this doesn't happen, and that might be the reason the current behavior exists...
