As you mentioned in your paper <http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/SDG/IT94/Proceedings/DDay/mogul/HTTPLatency.html> there are two sources of such requests: requests for inlined images and subsequent hits on links by a user. I'm shooting for the first batch, I admit. In the future, with authentication and payment additions to HTTP, the short keepalive will address a larger proportion of the same-server traffic. Do you have any measurements for which of the two sources produces more of the same-server hits? Dave Kristol
