+ <dd>If this variable is set no pooled connection will be reused
+ if the client connection is an initial connection. This avoids
+ the "proxy: error reading status line from remote server" error message
+ caused by the race condition that the backend server closed the
+ pooled connection after the connection check by the proxy and
+ before data send by the proxy reached the backend. It has to be
+ kept in mind that setting this variable downgrades performance,
+ especially with HTTP/1.0 clients.
