That last sentence is wrong, isn't it? (I'm using the two-steps-forward/one-step-back approach until I can't go any further. At least you don't have to look at the doc for apr_reslist_create() anymore ;) ) I honestly don't know what min is used for since we only create connections on demand, unless min=0 means don't retain, and min>0 means retain. What I want to do as a user today: retain connections but don't use any if they've been idle for >= origin-server-keepalive seconds. ttl is the only timeout avail, so that has to be set to the origin's keepalive timeout ttl only applies to connections above smax, so smax needs to be set as low as allowable so perhaps ProxyPass / http://xxx/ ttl=5 smax={0,1,whatever it will accept}
