Actually, it is recommended that KeepAlive is disabled for MSIE
browsers.  Here's the recommended line to append to your SSL_VHOST
block(s):

SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown

Of course, it will most likely be overwritten by the Cobalt GUI once
you change something, so YMMV.  You might be able to do it server-wide
if it's a must; read the mod_ssl documentation.
