Thanks Winni -----Original Message----- From: Fred Moyer [mailto:f...@redhotpenguin.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 01, 2010 8:21 PM To: Winfried Neessen Cc: modperl@perl.apache.org Subject: Re: Strange behaviour with Pseudo-Proxy script Aside from posting the source code so that we can peruse and say "That might be it", you might try putting a non blocking reverse proxy such as Perlbal (my favorite, and darn tootin' fast), Nginx, or Varnish in front of your mod_perl instance so that it does the dirty work of connection handling and mod_perl isn't stuck spoon feeding slow clients.
