I had already ruled conntrack out - sorry, I forgot to mention it. It's a really common problem I had on my radar. ;)

I was always of the opinion (not sure from where I got that, though), that setting the maxconn at the beginning would set it as default for every frontend and backend. Oh was I wrong. Next time it's probably a good idea to read documentation on every configuration option again. > your sysctls look correct overall. Thanks! I'm relatively certain maxconn that was the issue, some tests will verify it...thank you very much Willy! Bests, Craig
