Imagine wanting to have 50 fronts and 10 backs. If you use keep
alives,
that'll end up being 50 fronts and 50 backs.
Some proxies/load balancers can keep 50 frontend connections open
over 10 backend connections, all with keep-alives by using one
backend connection for multiple frontend connections.
(perlbal is one of them)
