Every once in a while, the number of connections between apache and tomcat grows very rapidally, going from 12 or so up to over 150 in a matter of about 10 minutes. This quickly causes the number of httpd processes to exceed MaxClients and apache stops accepting new connections. Restarting tomcat relieves the symptom. This is a recent development that first came to my attention abtu two weeks ago.
When the problem happens, 'netstat -natp' shows a bunch of connections like: tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:39164 127.0.0.1:8009 ESTABLISHED 21886/httpd with a corresponding connection for the tomcat end: tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:8009 127.0.0.1:39164 ESTABLISHED 31723/java Normally there are about 8 to 12 connections between apache and tomcat. I cannot figure out why the number suddenly peaks like this. I've scoured the http logs and turned on debugging for mod_jk but nothing I've tried so far fixes it. I've had the developers do some extra logging to see if any recent code changes could be causing it but that too has proved fruitless.
