persistent connections from accelerator to apache

Hello,

We use Squid/2.2.STABLE4 as accelerator for our web-servers
(Apache/1.3.9).
Some web-servers serve huge number of short requests. I have found out,
that connection between squid and apache are not persistent (I have
sniffed traffic). Also, connections between client and accelerator
appeared to
be not persistent:
