Hi Jim, Thanks for responding.Short answer: yes - the client is using http keep alive to keep a persist connection open to the server.

By persistent, do you mean one that was held open via standard HTTP keepalive?

Or maybe I just asked it at a bad time or I'm just out of luck and no one is motivated to respond.

Both have mod_reqtimeout enabled. The reverse proxy is using persistent connections to talk to the backend. I have applied a steady test load of 1 request per second; requests are quick to process in the backend I'm getting 502 errors from the front end. It appears that the backend is closing the connections, though its hard to be sure which end is. The rate of 502 errors reduces the longer I make the ReadRequestTimeout. I get no errors if I disable mod_reqtimeout. It looks like the backend is closing then connections after about N seconds where N is the timeout value, even in the presence of a steady load. MaxKeepAliveRequests and KeepAliveTimeout are set very high. I'm pretty new to this sort of thing. I'd appreciate any thoughts or guidance.
