When using keepalive a client opens a connection to the cluster and that
connection stays open (for as long as the clients wants, or a timeout
occurs serverside). So the loadbalancer can not (at normal LVS level) see
whether it is a normal connection with just one large request from the
server or that it is a keepalived connection with lots of requests.
As far as I know persistence has no influence on keepalive.
