I am looking to write an Apache module that maintains a pool of socket connections to a back-end server. When a request for the module comes in, a connection from the pool would be grabbed and the data sent to the back-end server. I want persistent connections to the back-end server; constantly reconnecting would be very painful.
Anyone know of how I could get this to work? From what I've read, I don't see that this is possible, but throwing it out in the hopes that someone here knows. I appreciate any help you can give. Mike
