I can set the 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! ===
