That's less of a 'socket open between sessions' and more of 'have a pool of
already opened sockets' since you could get a different Apache process on a
subsequent request.

Where would i go about learning how to set its processes based on a session?

I think I know what u mean a bit...

like for every user run the persistent connection in a different process by
creating a new process and attaching the id in a session.

Can i do this with PHP? or does it need to be done on the Apache level?

Hmm, I found an exciting site related to this question...

Persistent connections across Apache processes and restarts
