Hi Apache guru My configuration is: client -> Cisco CSM/SSLM -> Apache reverse proxy -> Cisco CSM/SSLM -> Tomcat https http https http I am using Apache 2.0.52 on RedHat Linux Enterprise 4 In described configuration client response is very slow, images loading slow, it takes about 30-35 sec for client to load a page. When I am avoiding second level of SSLM(Cisco hardware ssl module), everything works just fine. For example if I load SSL cert on Tomcat server or just use HTTP from Apache reverse proxy to Tomcat, responce is very fast. The same happened if I avoid Apachec reverse proxy and try to access Tomcat VIP directly(in this case SSLM doesn't cause any slowness). But when I terminate SSL on SSLM(which is SSL proxy), the responce is very slow. Soin other words, slowness happened ONLY if I use ApacheReverseProxy->CSM/SSLM->Tomcat Does anyone have any idea? I am running out of my mind trying to solve a problem Sincerely, Dmitry Dmitry Krilov Portal Engineer OntarioMD 416.623.1248 Ext. 5375 dmitry.krilov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx This e-mail message may contain confidential and privileged information for the addressee and is intended solely for the recipient's use.
