How about one connection per session?
The connection goes away when the session goes away.
If the user does not logout, the connection is closed with a timeout.

I dont think that apache will share the process with its children.
The work around to that is to use shared memory to hold the
connection... I think..

This is really strange.  I just looked through the authentication code of IMP 
(in regards to the connection stuff and it all looks ok).  I am also tracking 
connections locally and it works for me -- for both IMP and Gollem.  At first 
few glances, your configuration looks ok.  So I'm lost.  Would you be able to 
provide some lines from your mysql log to further diagnose this?  Specifically 
while you have connections enabled.  Thanks
