For the millionth time, if that is a problem then separate the proxy module from the gateway ("reverse proxy") module. They do not belong together.+1. This would sway me more to go back to the "stock" modules. The "reverse proxy" could be much more aggressive with keep-alives, connection pools, etc.
As I recall there is very little difference between the code for "forward proxy" and the code for "reverse proxy", the key differences being to send a Proxy-Auth instead of Auth where appropriate, and other minor things.
Separating the module into two will just mean two modules with virtually identical code: a breeding ground for all sorts of problems.
