Hi Willy, thanks a lot for the detailed explanation. I had the dontlognull option enabled, so now they at least show up.

The few times we managed to see this error ourself, it happened almost immediately, definitely not waiting for 10s. Could the SSL termination be involved in this? I'm currently running stud, but will try stunnel tomorrow to see if it make a difference. thanks, Florian
