[Pound Mailing List] Persistent connections

Hello,

I'd live to disable HTTP persistent connections between Pound and my
backend servers, but enable HTTP persistent connections between web
browsers and Pound.

My thinking is:
* The connections between Pound and the backend servers are unencrypted
and extremely low latency, and also each web connection (on this system)
requires a LOT of memory, so persistent connections here are undesirable.
* The connections between web browsers and Pound is encrypted, has
significant network latency, and each connection should require very
little memory (whatever it takes to run a Pound thread).  So persistent
connections here are very desirable.

I thought that simply disabling keepalive on my backend servers would be
sufficient, but it seems that Pound is detecting this and then sending
"Connection: close" to browsers on every request.  Is my interpretation
of what's going on correct?  What can be done about it?

Thanks!
