I expected, that you'll ask for these, so I also saved them at that time and will forward them in private. >From what I saw on multiple occurences of these conditions, that it seemded to be the case, that there were always mobile internet connections involved in this - but this could of course just be unrelated coincidence. > The problem I've been facing was how to reproduce the condition.

As I already experienced the problems with only a less important sub-domain routed over that haproxy-instance, I'll try to setup a second clone of the instance. I just need some spare hours, to re-route that specific sub-domain over the new clone again and log as much as possible. As I do not know in advance, which client would cause the fulty conditions, would two separate multi-minute tcpdumps of 1) all client traffic to the loadbalancer IP 2) all haproxy traffic to the backend still be useful to you? They could then still at least be filtered for one client IP that owns such a faulty session. > You need to be fully aware that this will disclose a lot of private > information so you definitely don't want to post this here.

As this single subdomain is only used for delivering some banner images, the privacy concerns for giving out the dumps would also be lessened a lot. I'd of course still send these dumps in private. Kind regards Tobias
