[mirror-admin] enabling keep-alives

[Matt_Domsch at Dell.com]

Please enable HTTP keep-alives, even if the timeout is as low as 2
seconds.  This will greatly increase the speed at which the
mirrormanager crawler can crawl your site, and will increase the speed
at which clients are able to download packages, as yum will use
keep-alives too.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/Mirroring has instructions
for how to do this in Apache.  Lighttpd enables keep-alives by default.

Here's a list of public mirrors serving F8 via HTTP that do not have
keep-alives enabled:

distro.ibiblio.org
fedora.omnispring.com
fedora.tu-chemnitz.de
ftp.cc.uoc.gr
ftp.gui.uva.es
ftp.jaist.ac.jp
ftp.linux.ncsu.edu
ftp.linux.org.uk
ftp.univie.ac.at
ftp.wcss.pl
mirror.newnanutilities.org
mirror.steadfast.net
mirror.web-ster.com
sunsite.rediris.es
ultra.linux.cz
www.mirrorservice.org

Thanks,
Matt
