Interesting...  And unfortunate.  It does seem to be working in my
tests, however I'm only testing with a single client at the moment so
there would only be one necessary backend connection.  Thank you for the
link.

The docs were very unclear on this..  I thought that disablereuse would
prevent reuse of a backend connection from different frontend
connections.  But apparently it completely prevents backend connection
reuse, even with multiple requests from the same frontend connection.
Although this does somewhat explain why NTLM fails ;)

No, it wasn't.  I found that configuration in httpd.conf and fixed
that -- that was one of my problems.

Thanks,
