My apache does send a "Connection: close"

I thought delay_pools were for limiting clients bandwitdh.
This is a reverse proxy setup: fast squid<->apache and potentialy slow squid<->clients.
I do not want to slowdown fast clients; I want squid to handle slow clients (that would hold onto apache for a too long time).

Right now, I have this:
  slowclient-squid
  squid-apache (a little bit transfered)
  slowclient-squid (a little bit transfered)
  squid-apache (a little bit transfered)
  slowclient-squid (a little bit transfered)
  . . .
  squid-apache (connection closed)
  slowclient-squid (connection closed)

I want something like:
  slowclient-squid
  squid-apache (all transfered and connection closed)
  slowclient-squid (a little bit transfered)
  slowclient-squid (a little bit transfered)
  slowclient-squid (a little bit transfered)
  . . .
  slowclient-squid (connection closed)

Are delay_pools for that too?

Thx,
JD
