Correct.
The keepalive is usually used for loading a single page with extra
content on it, so that browser doesn't need to connect for every
single icon on the web page.
Of course it's also a backdor for DOS attacks, so it's up to the
admin to decide the proper policy.
I would look at the statistics from the http logs to determine whether
keepalive should be disabled or not.
Yep, me too :).
