+ <note><title>DNS resolution for origin domains</title>
+ <p>DNS resolution happens when the socket to
+ the origin domain is created for the first time.
+ When connection pooling is used, each backend domain is resolved
+ only once per child process, and reused for all further connections
+ until the child is recycled. This information should to be considered
+ while planning DNS maintenance tasks involving backend domains.
+ Please also check <directive module="mod_proxy">ProxyPass</directive>
+ parameters for more details about connection reuse.
