Firewalls vs. Apache 2.2 mod_ldap

Both we and our customers have had issues with mod_ldap in Apache 2.0.x 
when one has a firewall between Apache and the target LDAP server that 
drops connections that have been idle for a long time.

Has this been addressed in Apache 2.2.2?

If not, are there plans to address it?

mod_jk has licked this issue in its way (and I assume mod_proxy_ajp 
inherited this), but last I checked mod_ldap still had serious issues 
(e.g. hung and/or failed requests) when such connection drops occur.

As I recall it has, yes.

I had that problem with v2.0.x, and moved across to v2.2.x to solve the
problem.
