I have a situation that occurred the other night and I want to know if anyone 
else has seen it or heard of it.

We have two Apache servers (RHES3.0, apache 1.3.29) and a CFMX 6.1 server 
(Windows 2000 Advanced Server).  All of these servers sit behind a BigIP 
hardware load balancing solution.  The two apache servers connect to the CFMX 
server using the JRun connector for Apache (I am not using the mod_jrun.so that 
is installed via the wsconfig.jar file but rather one that is compiled on those 
boxes).  This whole set up has been running fine until the other night when the 
apps development folks here were fiddling with CFMX to get one of the their 
applications to work.  They changed something called "sysdate" I think and 
shortly thereafter the web servers stopped serving up pages.

The apache servers were running (as indicated by ps -ef) and I could even 
telnet to the servers on port 80 and get a valid connection.  But the servers 
just wouldn't serve up any pages.  I rebooted the apache servers (against my 
better judgement mind you) and when everything came back up they still wouldn't 
serve pages.  There were no errors in the logs or anything like that.  The 
following morning everything was the same.  I contacted the apps development 
folks and had them reboot the CFMX server and when it came back up I restarted 
apache......and voila, all was happy.

So something tells me that a state was encountered on the CFMX box that caused 
the JRun connectors to go south whenever they tried to connect.  And since it 
happened on two different apache servers each time they tried to connect it 
implies that the problem was with the CFMX server.

Any ideas?  I would appreciate feedback as this is holding up a migration to 
these two new web servers.
