Assuming that ports 8080 or 8889 are being forwarded to by
ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverse (mod_proxy) --

Just looking at the Apache doc, KeepAliveTimeout is shown as
applying to the Apache core, context="server config" -- which would
imply to me that the value is consistently applied to the whole server.

That said, it doesn't seem logical to apply it to a *proxy*; a "connection"
is being made to the proxy target, not the proxying server, and that
proxy target may have a different keepalive value set, a recipe for some
interesting conflicts. :-)

FWIW!
