The current code retries in rapid succession without any delay. Interesting that based on the context this seemed to happen on a "new" child process. I'd be interestedif you've ever been able to capture this under a packet trace -- does the connection attempt ever hit the wire? Finally, i'd expect openldap bugs would be the ones of interest, unless I'm misunderstanding. -- Eric Covener covener@xxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
