+  <listitem>
+   <para>
+    Enabling this option significantly increases the number of connections
+    that are reused, provided the <ulink
+     url="#KEEP-ALIVE-TIMEOUT">keep-alive-timeout</ulink> option
+    is also enabled.
+   </para>
+   <para>
+    While it also increases the number of connections problems
+    when &my-app; tries to reuse a connection that already has
+    been closed on the server side, or is closed while &my-app;
+    is trying to reuse it, this should only be a problem if it
+    happens for the first request sent by the client. If it happens
+    for requests on reused client connections, &my-app; will simply
+    close the connection and the client is supposed to retry the
+    request without bothering the user.
+   </para>
+   <para>
+    Enabling this option is therefore only recommended if the
+    <ulink
+     url="#CONNECTION-SHARING">connection-sharing</ulink> option
+    is disabled.
+   </para>
+   <para>
+    It is an error to specify a value larger than the <ulink
+     url="#KEEP-ALIVE-TIMEOUT">keep-alive-timeout</ulink> value.
+   </para>
+   <para>
+    This option has no effect if <application>Privoxy</application>
+    has been compiled without keep-alive support.
