Thanks for your answer, and congrats for the soft.
So as I understand it, when it reaches the number of connections specified in NumConnections, it will start looking for idles and replacing them right ? So the goal would be to set the NumConnections value to something that's always bigger than the actual alive connections, reaching by this a similar situation as keep alive off (that is, idle connections can't have new ones wait).
Sounds good enough to me :).
Is there a way I can tell how many connections are open/alive at a given time in mathopd ? Like a signal or something ?
Thanks again!

[...]it's important to close requests asap. I've looked through the documentation but i'm not sure i have seen a reference to such a feature, does it exist ? Is this done using Timeout, or Wait ?
There is no knob in mathopd to turn off keepalives. The server will kill connections that are idle when a new request comes in. See the description for 'Clobber' in config.txt. You could set the value of "Wait" to a low number but I'm not sure if this is a good solution.
