It might happen. Wez Furlong was contemplating a persistent connection implementation for the generic PDO interface following on from the persistent connection model in the oci8 extension for Oracle. > As an example, lets suppose an example with 2000 connections, using > keep-alive, with 20 connections downloading static content and 50 > downloading dynamic (PHP) content.

Unrelated to your FastCGI suggestion but FYI on database connection pooling: http://blogs.oracle.com/opal/2007/01/03. The pooling described has no dependency on how you deploy your application and works across multiple application types connecting to the DB.
