Okay, here are my new settings: half_closed_clients on request_timeout 10 minutes persistent_request_timeout 5 minutes
I opened up a Yahoo account to test. It seems the connection does stay open up to 5 minutes (Better then before), then dies. So, the answer would be to up the persistent_request_timeout to something like 8 hours to allow workers to keep windows open all day, like M$ Proxy. Is there any drawbacks in speed or resources in doing so? Thanks for your help. -Mark > I'm getting a lot of complaints from my users that when in active > pages the connection will just die.
