Would not the generic "store-and-forward" approach I sent last week help all

code, since it's basically a very hacked up mod_deflate crossed with
mod_xsendfile.  It works for us, but we don't use the stock proxy, so not
100% it will help if the frontend and backend pools are somehow "linked."

read-backend -> write-and-flush-frontend -> disconnect-backend

This technique was used in the large disk cache work from 2006, and worked very well. Whether it will work in the current flow though I am not so sure. The current flow looks like this: As I understand it, the flush part is the killer. The disconnect-backend should happen before the flush, not after.
