[mirror-admin] enabling keep-alives

[Günther Fischer]

Matt,
I have reset it to On. I had have changed it because I got more than
1000 httpds (apache) slow down the server. Now I have redirected ISOs
again to ftp to
solve the many connections an it helps for now.
I'm tying now also lighttpd, but the configuration for servers with
high trafic is not strait forward. Can anybody send me such a
configuration - I want stop to many connections from one side and
other things make it fast and stabele.
