For NTLM to work through a reverse proxy, client connections need to
be associated with backend ones (1:1), that is the proxy must (re)use
the same backend connection for the requests arriving on the same
client connection (NTLM authenticates connections, not requests...).

The only way (I'm aware of) to let NTLM pass through Apache httpd is
to use MPM prefork, to indeed set "KeepAlive on" (globally), and
finally to add "SetEnv proxy-initial-not-pooled" in the reverse proxy
VirtualHost (if any, otherwise globally).

There were patches proposed to make it work with other MPMs, but they
are not up to date (while the above should work with vanilla httpd).

Yann.
