No, I really meant http mode, but in the (default) tunneling mode, which
can only analyze the first request and then creates a "tunnel", meaning
that it effectively transforms the session into a tcp mode session.

This still gives you the possibility to content-switch based on the Host
header in the frontend (at least, in the first requests, but this should
be enough, as I doubt Internet Explorer will mix NTLM with non-NTLM
requests in a single TCP session - that would bring the brokeness of NTLM
to a new level ...).

Also, since you can influence the keep-alive settings from the backend,
you could still enable keep-alive on the non-NTLM backends, to have full
content switching abilities, etc for the regular HTTP traffic.

I was not implying we shouldn't troubleshoot this problem, I was rather
speaking out loudly how I would use NTML backends with current code in
general and pre dev-20 code in particular.

As for NTLM troubleshooting itself, I'm sure Baptiste can be of better
help, as I'm not using NTLM myself.
