I know my way around Apache modules, but I'm an initiate to mod_auth_kerb, and I've noticed that when I refresh my test CGI too frequently, the credential cache disappears. This doesn't happen, however, if I set KeepAlive off.

I understand that Kerberos operates at the connection level, so it seems as if it would be possible to authenticate on the first request and then keep that connection authenticated until it disconnected, at which point the credential cache could be removed. This behaviour would gracefully degrade to Connection: close.

I'd be happy to hack on it if somebody would show me around.
