Or is this a problem on either of the apache servers? The errors on the backend suggest that the connection with the client was aborted (downstream). Do determine whether it happens before the reverse proxy or between the proxy and the backend you'd have to capture traffic there (tcpdump/wireshark to look for tcp connections reset) or use "LogLevel trace1" on the proxy (that's the level where client network errors are logged there). > > In the error_log of the proxy server I see errors like: > > [Thu Jan 14 06:42:01.647633 2021] [proxy_http:error] [pid 17204:tid 140412413015808] (104)Connection reset by peer: [client 192.168.x.y:38940] AH01102: error reading status line from remote server <backend SVN server>:443 This may be the symptom of a KeepAliveTimeout mismatch between the proxy and the backend, which can be addressed by using a slightly lower value on the proxy. You could use a "ProxyPass ... ttl=[timeout]" on the proxy with [timeout] < KeepAliveTimeout on the backend (say the KeepAliveTimeout on the backend's vhost is 5, try ttl=3 in the proxy's ProxyPass directive). By doing this, you avoid the case where the proxy is reusing a connection that is being closed by the backend at the same time (because its KeepAliveTimeout expires), the more connections the greater the risk of this happening.. But this is unlikely to fix the errors raised by the backend, because those seem to happen on well established connections. I may be missing something though, so this first step could help already..
