      <note><title>DNS resolution for origin domains</title>
      <p>DNS resolution happens when the socket to
        the origin domain is created for the first time.
        When connection pooling is used, each backend domain is resolved 
        only once per child process, and reused for all further connections 
        until the child is recycled. This information should to be considered 
        while planning DNS maintenance tasks involving backend domains. 
        Please also check <directive module="mod_proxy">ProxyPass</directive>
        parameters for more details about connection reuse.
