Hi all, thanks for reporting this. I looked at the logs, and as near as I can tell, there has been exactly one 503 error to soap.cgi since January 10th across all three hosts. I suspect that what's happening here is we're triggering a gateway timeout and the fastly gateway is returning a 503 while the soap.cgi goes on to complete the request. This probably only fails when you happen to hit an underlying host which is already under high load (or a request that takes longer to load). Can you show the timing of the requests that fail in addition to the logs? 1: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1125030#42 -- Don Armstrong https://www.donarmstrong.com "Do you need [...] [t]ools?
