If not a routing problem, I'd suggest you bump up to 2.0.55, and apply
this patch; http://people.apache.org/~wrowe/httpd-2.0-proto-timeout.patch
which should provide you the most stable httpd 2.0.55 proxy available.
Post back if you still see this issue after upgrading! (Your OpenSSL
version shouldn't matter significantly for this problem below.)

Hi All
I am encountering a problem with my Apache webproxy. We are using
Apache 2.0.52 + OpenSSL with mod_proxy as a reverse proxy. Use
ProxyPassReverse and ProxyPass. When we load the server with 5+
simultaneous users one specific page breaks about 30% of the time.
It causes the following Apache error log messages:
[Wed Nov 23 06:05:48 2005] [error] [client <ip>] proxy: error reading

We used Ethereal (protocol analyser) to track the problem, and it
appears that the backend server (10.100.0.71) does respond to the
request for the page (viewCDZDocument.jsp). The backend sends the first
few packets of that page but then doesn't get an acknowledgement so
retries a number of times and then gives up.
Reverse Proxy (Apache)
Backend (App Server)
GET viewCDZDocument.jsp ------------------------------------------------>
<--------------------------------------------------------------------------------ACK
<--------------------------------------------------------------------------------HTTP
OK
<--------------------------------------------------------------------------------part
of viewCDZDocument.jsp
<--------------------------------------------------------------------------------part
of viewCDZDocument.jsp
<--------------------------------------------------------------------------------part
of viewCDZDocument.jsp
(At this point the Backend receives no ACK from the Proxy so retries…)
Any ideas or thoughts as to how to tackle this would be gratefully
received, as this problem has us stumped; we have done a fair amount of
googling, etc. and not come up with much of use.
Thanks in advance and regards
James
