Funny,
according to the documentation there exists no connectionTimeout
attribute for the apr connector.
Setting the value to '0' could mean all sorts of behavior, no way to
know for sure short of checking the code. (it could mean the connector
will not wait for the uri line at all)
I can't comment about a correct value for your application.
Setting it to a low value will have the connector thread return to the
pool faster on connections where the peer has gone to lunch after the
initial connection. This only matters if you have a large number of such
peers.
I'm sure one of the veterans here can clear this up for you.
