I have Apache 1.33 on my front end and an .htaccess file with the
following
RewriteRule
^(.*)habitat[/]?$ http://perl.habitatlife.com:81/habitat.pl [P]
On the back end I have MP2 and Apache2. How can I be sure keep alive
is off?
Is it done via the front or back?
Is this the wrong group for this?
Thanks,
Boysenberry

Imagine wanting to have 50 fronts and 10 backs. If you use keep
alives,
that'll end up being 50 fronts and 50 backs.
The overhead of reconnecting shouldn't be much of an issue here,
because
your front and back machines are probably very close together, and the
cost
of lookup and reverse lookup shouldn't be much.
