I have a strange case of occasional refused connect()'s. The system is running 4.10-STABLE.
...
The question is - why do connections get refused at all? I can think of no valid reasons...
FWIW, I can't either. The client is single-threaded so it's difficult to see why this should occur. Unfortunately, I don't have ready access to a 4.x system with perl 5.8 but I don't see the problem with FreeBSD 5.3.
problem solved by upgrading system to 4.11-STABLE.
the problem is specific to 4.10: it does NOT show up on any of 3 systems running FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE #4: Mon Nov 10 18:47:10 MSK 2003 it DOES, however, show up on every one of 3 other systems, running FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE #10: Wed Aug 4 18:42:45 MSD 2004 and, as i said, it seems to have had been fixed somewhere before FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE #12: Sun Jan 23 14:09:07 MSK 2005
i don't feel like diving deep into the issue here... thanks everyone :)
[Haven't read your code]
Try to turn net.inet.ip.portrange.randomized off.
yes, this does solve the problem on 4.10-STABLE.
thanks, Maxim :)
