There's no difference between having the option in defaults or explicitly in the section itself. You should see defaults as templates for next sections. The error here is that http-keep-alive should also produce a warning. But I think I know why it doesn't, most options are handled by a generic parser which checks the proxy mode, and a few other more complex ones are implemented "by hand" and do not necessarily run such checks. It's a very bad practise to mix TCP and HTTP proxies with the same defaults sections. This probably is something we should document better in the doc. A good practise is to have one (or several) defaults sections for HTTP mode and then other defaults sections for TCP mode. And most often you don't even have the same timeouts, log settings etc. Regards, Willy
