However, we have also seen this problem (512 W's with increasingly high "SS" values in server-status, until even server-status can no longer be requested) on our non-ssl web servers, albeit a lot less frequently (possibly because of lower load triggering our scenario less frequently). I'm wondering what the technical (apache, sockets, OS,...) reason is for the absence of some "Apache kill switch" which would terminate (that is, free the apache slot and make it available to another client) a connection with an "SS" value greater than some threshold - or is this supposed to be solved by any of the apache Timeout settings? If not, I'll have to dig further into the plugins we're running. Is there a good overview available which explains the relationship between Apache timeout settings and e.g. worker.properties (mod_jk) timeout parameters (e.g. parameter1 >= parameter2) ? The documentation of each package seems to only explain its own configuration directives, but I'm thinking our problems may be related to some not-so-good combination of timeout settings (at the moment they all have values > 0 and < infinite though).
