New Revision: 1748948

URL: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=1748948&view=rev
Log:
Follow up about DNS Resolution cache in mod-proxy after 
a users@ email thread ("mod_proxy and DNS resolving").
Review from devs would be really appreciated, I'd like to 
backport this info asap to 2.4.x.

-        When connection pooling is used, the DNS resolution is performed
-        again only when the <code>ttl</code> of the connection expires

-        This means that httpd does not perform any DNS resolution caching.
+      <p>DNS resolution happens when the socket to
+        the origin domain is created for the first time.
+        When connection pooling is used, each backend domain is resolved 
+        only once per child process, and reused for all further connections 
+        until the child is recycled. This information should to be considered 
+        while planning DNS maintenance tasks involving backend domains. 
+        Please also check <directive module="mod_proxy">ProxyPass</directive>
+        parameters for more details about connection reuse.
