Well, the good news is that it looks like a few die-hard penguin banner wavers here have managed to get the Powers-That-Be to bring in some Linux boxes to evaluate as possible web servers alternatives. One more step toward world-domination... :-)
The problem is that one of my friends, Mark, who is involved with the project is still having some Apache growing-pains. He's fairly new to Apache (previously just iPlanet) and is trying to understand why we're seeing some of the things we are. What he's working on now is that we're trying to get Apache (1.3.something) to drop persistent sessions sooner to help free up connection resources. He has set the timeout to what we worked out would be "enough to keep most users persistent but not enough to waste" (12 seconds in this case) but it appears it's still holding for 60. Below is a copy of the message Mark forwarded me yesterday showing what he's seeing in the logs as well as something that struck him as a possible contributor. He and I would greatly appreciate it if anyone out in GNHLUG-land could assist. We're having this problem on our current Sun architecture but we doubt it will just "go away" when we set up on the Linux boxes in the next few weeks. As you can imagine, we are very excited about an opportunity to prove the value and usability of Apache and especially Linux here in a primarily IBM & Sun shop (no pressure...no pressure...go to your happy place, Larry...). If someone would prefer to mail me off-list I can put you in direct email contact with Mark (he's not a subscriber to this list).
