I just looked at the mod_auth_sspi code.. and for SSPIPerRequestAuth it has

"set to 'on' if you want authorization per request instead of per connection"

Now does that mean if you open one https connection and use keepalive
to send several requests that turning this option off actually means
you authenticate less and not more? I'd read previously on this list
that leaving it off meant it would authenticate each data packet?
