Although I have not tracked down any reason for this error, I believe it
seems to be a problem with the initialization of SSL in each child. I have
a web server running a nearly identical setup, and it used to get many SSL
interruptions per day.
I raised the MaxRequestsPerChild limit last friday (to 3000). And so far,
the number of errors seems to have decreased proportionally. I used to
recieve this error dozens of times daily. But since the change 4 days ago,
I have only recieved it 20 times.
The only noticeable drawback is that each child is consuming 2-6 meg more
RAM. Compared to the SSL error, this is totally acceptable to me.
Another thing I have noticed, is that immediatly after starting (or
restarting) your server. You should hit it several times with your browser
(using SSL) this will eliminate the number of times your errors will appear
on your clients browsers.
