Aaron,
We had the same problem when using Apache 1.3.20 with modssl 2.8.4/OpenSSL
0.9.5a.
Following the advice from this list, I added the lines below to the conf
file (it didn't help):
BrowserMatch "MSIE [1-4]" nokeepalive \
ssl-unclean-shutdown \
downgrade-1.0 \
force-response-1.0
BrowserMatch "MSIE [5-9]" ssl-unclean-shutdown
BrowserMatch "Mozilla/4..*PC)" nokeepalive \
downgrade-1.0 \
force-response-1.0
SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXPORT
Adding the following two lines solved the problem though:
SSLSessionCache shm:/var/log/http/ssl_gcache_data(512000)
SSLSessionCacheTimeout 300
and the setup has been working ever since (about 6 months).
HTH,
- Alex
