The backends do not use keepalive now, indeed. Does it differ from apache for the
clients? Think the cost of a longer keepalive is almost none with Perlbal,
but with Apache you need a whole child for each connection, right?

Disadvantage is the backends have to do the http content compression
themselves. The frontend does that now.
