Apache and persistent connections

[Juan Rivera]

I'm been considering using Apache to handle other types of TCP traffic, in particular ones that hold connections for long periods of time (E.G. Citrix ICA).   I looked at how Apache 2 works and it seems like a thread holds a connection for the lifetime of it. Is this right?   If I wanted to optimize this so that connections that have no data are move to a pool so that threads can move to the next connection and when there is data, go back and deal with the other connection.   It sounds, I'll have to write my own MPM with IO completion ports to do something like this, right?       Juan C.
