Are you already using a reverse-proxy? Make sure the front lightweight
servers *do* use cache and *don't* use keep-alive to the backend...
your heavy backend will spit the entire response, and go free to service
the next request... your thin front-end will then deliver that response
slowly as needed.
Can you explain a bit more why using keep-alives to the backend is not a
good thing? I've always been under the impression from conference
lectures and literature that turning keep-alives on for the app server
is something you should do to reduce the overhead of creating new tcp
connections to the proxy server.
