Theo Schlossnagle at his talk (ApacheCon) yesterday has shown a setup
where one uses Keep-Alives with mod_perl, where mod_backhand is used at
the front end, instead of mod_proxy/squid. Basically the mod_perl
processes keep a constant connection to the front end server and
mod_backhand uses those connections as a pool. Check out
http://www.backhand.org/mod_backhand/.

I'm planning to add a section on this topic to the guide, but since I'm
busy working on finishing the book it might take a while before I get to
actually do it. So if anyone can write about it beforehand, that would be
really cool to have. Thanks!
