Re: KeepAlive's

["Alex Kramarov" <alex@incredimail.com>]

as far as i can tell, this is not the behaivour tux follows now. I am
running webserver that gets 10M hist a day, and i get only a small amount of
these redirected to apache. usually this is because :

1. it's a 404 error
2. it's a request sent by a http client that tux was not able to parse, so
it is redirected to apache
3. the disk has some permissions that tell tux to redirect the connection
4. the file extention tells tux to redirect the connection.

you can read about these cases in the documentation. By the way, if you are
using the latest tux, please upgrade your utils pack

somewhere that if a keepalive connection is negotiated between a browser and
the webserver, TUX will redirect all http requests to secondary web server
(in my case Apache). Since most modern browsers support keepalive the whole
purpose of TUX is defeated, correct?

Apache it seems that it is still getting all the requests for static items
like .gif's and .jpeg's. TUX should be dealing with these.
