Yes, I do understand that.

I want a database connection through http, clients will
probably use XML-RPC in their communication with apache.
The job of apache is to provide platform independence and
SSL.
But for the application to work I need persistent connections
to the database, so that if three clients open sessions with
the apache (i.e, there are three different values), I
want three database connections to be created, with each
one assigned to one session (based on the value).
This database connection should stay until the client has
logged off or the session has timed out.

So far, the only options I have seen apache offering are
- one connection per request,
- a pool of connections that get reused in a random manner.

Is there a third option like
- one connection per client session as identified by a
session ?

Lots of Greetings!
