[mirror-admin] enabling keep-alives

[Günther Fischer]

On our side I see many partial GETs for one ISO from one IP. I think
this are download accelerators.
So we reach quickly the max number of httpd 768 (I have defined). With
redirected the ISOs to ftp I see it around 200.

So I look to stop too many connections from one IP.
