Hi, I am facing a problem in my web application's deployment and would be grateful for any help in this regard. Thanks. PROBLEM: - When a client requests for our web application, the first page takes a very long time to load. It takes almost 3 minutes. After that, subsequent connections are quite fast. When i tried deleting the cache from the browser and try again, it takes under 20 seconds to display the first page (it is a simple login page). However, after several hours when i try again, it takes upto 3 minutes to display the first page. BACKGROUND SETUP: - We have a JSF web application deployed in apache tomcat 6 - Tomcat is being fronted by Apache 2.2 Http Server using mod_proxy. - We have 2 Apache servers on different machines that are load balanced using DNS round robin - We have 2 Apache tomcats on different machines that are load balanced using Apache Mod_proxy - We have a CheckPoint firewall in between the Apache HTTP server and the Tomcat server. - In my httpd.conf file, in addition to the mod_proxy configuration, I have also added Timeout 1500 KeepAlive On MaxKeepAliveRequests 100 KeepAliveTimeout 15 Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
