Strange issue, specially that your get both timeout and connection refused exceptions at the same time.
Few questions/ideas: 1. You mentioned you are using few servers to run the JMeter test. Is this error shown on specific host or every time on a different host. 2. What happen if you run only a partial load with a single JMeter host? Is the error shown too? 3. Have you tried to switch to another HTTP Implementation on the samplers? 4. To log I would suggest you to use the Simple Data Writer and log all data related with failing samples only. 5. Is it possible you simply overloading your SUT (System Under Test)? Did you look at it during load test? Shmuel Krakower. www.Beatsoo.org - re-use your jmeter scripts for application performance monitoring from worldwide locations for free.
