Can http monitor use Keep-Alive?

Is the connection reused when specified "Connection:Keep-Alive"?     Should I specify "Connection:Close"?

Sorry, I mis-read your original question. I know that the connection to the server can be kept open if the Connection: close isn't used, and that this can leave connections open for longer than necessary, but I don't know whether LTM would ever re-use it if it's still open. I'll try testing to see.
