By default, Apache2 seems to allow only 1 connection per IP address.
How do I configure Apache2 to allow multiple simultaneous connections from the same IP address?
Here is my situation:
a web app being hosted on a server.
a remote client makes an request that may take 15 seconds to complete.
the same remote client makes another (independent) request.
at present, the 2nd request sits in a queue until the 1st request completes,
since Apache2 seems to impose a limit of 1 connection per IP address.
How do I override this default behaviour and allow the 2nd request to be processed in parallel?
thanks in advance,
David Jones

I discovered the answer to my problem. It turns out others have encountered this difficulty before:
The key detail is that file-based sessions in PHP cause all requests from the same client to be processed sequentially in a queue, rather than in parallel.
In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to make a call to session_write_close() in every PHP script as soon as session handling is finished.
