Multiple requests over a single connection

[jenkiss]

Hello,

in zabbix wiki (zabbix sender protocol) is written:

Note that you MUST disconnect the TCP connection after receiving the response. Sending multiple requests over a single connection is not supported and you risk tying up resources on the Zabbix server if you keep the connection open for too long.

Is this quote about all versions of Zabbix? Is it possible to avoid this restriction in zabbix 2.0? If not, maybe in later version it will be possible to put multiple request in one connection?

In very large network those connections takes a lot of resources, at least small grouping should lighten updating process.

A quick answer on this (have not done a check on the details):
Using zabbix proxys, active agent checks and zabbix_sender will reduce the amount of tcp connections as far as I know zabbix.
E.g:
