Multiple requests

[David Oxley]

I have been load testing our servlet and under high load requests start to
take a long time (30secs ish). When a request takes this long a browser
resubmits the request automatically. Is there a status I can send to the
browser to say that the server is actually doing something and therefore
stop duplicate requests coming through, or do I need to do some synchronise
code on the session (which seems a little dodgy to me).

Thanks.
Dave.
