Wait, I do not understand.
If keepconn always returns true, then all should work as-is ? Why do you need the flag ?
What happens if you set enablereuse=off in the apache config ?

Thank you.

Normally yes, even more so than in the current implementation.
IMHO you will maybe need 2 arrays: Incoming (request), outgoing(response).
- New Request comes in.
- No thread to handle request is available in pool.
- Request is accepted and put in incoming requestsarray.
- Check outgoing response array, send back any responses.
- When Thread finishes a request, puts it in outgoing responses array.
Details will depend heavily on the way the pool is handled.
