Unfortunately upstream cannot agree on what precisely the standards require in relation to TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT, thus this issue slips through the cracks and doesn't affect enough installations to create any real drive.
As can be seem from my investigations it is an obscure bug which is very hard to catch and probably goes unseen in most circumstances. My preferred solution would be a prominent addition to the Debian/Ubuntu READMEs for apache with a reference to this bug with advice to use AcceptFilter http none when operating in a load-balancing configuration. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to apache2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/134274 Title: TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT causes random HTTP connection failures in load- balanced web-server farms To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache2/+bug/134274/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
