Help on Apache pause

["Arnab Ganguly" <aganguly01@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,
Is there anyway to check Apache closing the sockets properly?
I am getting lots of CLOSE_WAIT ,SYNC_RCV and TIME_WAIT state when I do a netstat -a, and result it is Apache pauses.It waits for sometime and again it comeback for processing.I did tried changing some of the TCP stack param
tcp_keepalive_intvl,tcp_keepalive_probes ,net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog,net.ipv4.tcp_synack_retries, net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout but still the problem is reproducible.This happens under heavy load only.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
