[users@httpd] httpd 2.4.2 mod_proxy w/prefork - proxypass ttl does not seem to be honored

[David Woodworth <Da...@mitchell.com>]

Hello,

I am running Apache 2.4.2 using prefork.  Apache starts and operates fine except that it does not seem to honor the proxypass ttl option.  With the ttl=60, I test with making 10 consecutive calls that return good.  I wait 90 seconds and attempt another connection.  It re-uses the same back-end connection that I would have expected to have timed-out by then.  Has anyone else seen this behavior or know of a solution?  Any suggestions appreciated.

Configured with:              configure  --with-mpm=prefork
