It would be relatively simple to track when a client reuses a TCP connection for multiple HTTP requests using HTTP::request_num > 1:

If you wanted to track when clients open more than one TCP connection concurrently, you could increment a subtable with a key of the client IP and then decrement it in CLIENT_CLOSED.
But I'm curious as to why you want to do this. Is it for custom clients? All current browsers open more than one TCP connection when loading the elements of a web page. And all current browsers reuse TCP connections for multiple requests. So if you did implement this type of logging, it would be triggered constantly.
Can you elaborate on why you want to do this?
