'Keep connection' does not mean what you think it means.
That does not tie a client connection to a backend connection. To do that,
you will need stuff like ip_hash
<http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_upstream_module.html#ip_hash> or
more advenced session mechanisms (which are sadly not available in FOSS...
yet?).
Read the docs on fastcgi_keep_conn
<http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_fastcgi_module.html#fastcgi_keep_conn>,
which says it ensures the FastCGI connection is not close after being used,
which is the normal way of doing it. Use that in relation with keepalive
<http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_upstream_module.html#keepalive>, as
instructed.
That means that connections to the backend will remain open after being
open, so the next time the webserver addresses to them, they won't need to
open a new connection to them.
