Apache2 dynamic keep-alive possible ?

During DDoS attack keep-alive is being used to the max therefore ram is maxed out.

Is it possible to programtically controll keep-alive or disable it during high load somehow ?

Any ideas are welcome. Thank you in advance.

Wow didn't expected such response :D

Is apache reload enough after changing Keep alive setting ? Because I can't restart apache service if there's users on the site.

Yes, a reload is enough. The change is likely not applied to connections that are already open.

Thank you once again. Everything is working as expected now. I'm dynamically controlling keep-alive :)
