Hi Peter,
I am not using keep-alives to keep session persistence, but was rather hoping for better client performance. Using keep-alives saves creating a tcp connection for each request - and thereby saving 3 tcp packets (and roundtrip times) per request.

mladen makes a good point. the sites I've worked on, we left the keepalive up to the browser and didn't explicitly disable keepalive. the sites I've worked on we simply used hardware load balancer to make sure the session goes to the right server.
that is usually enough from my experience. my bias perspective is, unless the users are sending requests very rapidly, I don't see much benefit to using keepalive. If the interval between requests is rather long, like minutes, I doubt keepalive would provide any measurable benefit.
I would look at the statistics from the http logs to determine whether keepalive should be disabled or not.
