Okay I have a problem which is, itching my behind, in a manner of speaking. I have a webserver ala (www.astroadvice.com) The problem we have been encountering has been pretty strange, and I have not figured out a way to prevent this from killing the network or the router each time it happens.. Okay this is what happens, a user connects to our site (cache server), and somehow requests to verify the age of each object on the page. This causes our server to flood back with HTTP 304 errors, this flooded our network with very small packets , which would then have to be sent across our router. The problem is that the packets do not create excess data to be created, it actually didn't show any marked increase in the data output, just the number of packets. an Example is at time X the output is 1320kbps at 200pps at time Y the output is 880kbps at 1320pps Has anyone else had this problem, as it's both annoying me at it's causing some major problems with our router. Oh plus the load on our router for these periods would spike up drastically up to the point that the router would shut down. But for the period of this happening no traffic is accepted what so ever.
