I see--so if I understand correctly, proxies (i.e. nginx) pass 'each request' straight back to mongrel (a new TCP port), which would enable malicious users to create lots of keep-alive requests with mongrel itself, hence the fear of enabling keep-alive's, and mongrel currently limiting the number of simultaneous requests. Enabling this feature would only be useful, then, to a proxy which 'shares' requests to mongrel from several clients. Hmm. I'm not sure if any proxies do that (besides swiftiply). I wonder then if the gain to said type of proxies would be worth making it an option (or rather, I wonder if the gain would actually be small so not worth trying for). Then again a few ms here and there, right? ha ha. Thank you! -Roger
