Check the setting >"HostnameLookups", it should be Off. I have noticed a pretty strange phenomenon that sounds similar to what you are experiencing. I am using Netscape Communicator 4.5 on a Windows NT 4 system, just FYI. On occasion, when I attempt to load secure pages hosted by my Red Hat/Apache server, it takes a very long time for them to load. I discovered a trick, though. I keep another browser window open to a simple web page out there. When I notice the big SSL lag occurring, I Alt-tab over to the other window and hit Refresh. The SSL page in the primary window immediately begins to load also, as if there was some sort of TCP/IP lockup that got cleared by my refreshing the other browser window. The other browser window need not even be pointed to a secure page nor does it have to be pointed to my own server. This trick even works when I switch to my Netscape mail reader and tell it to get the mail. Right away, the SSL page begins to load. Weird.

I usually default mine to 1MB on solaris. I usually use 1MB as well on my servers. But if it takes forever to load a page even while the server is not under load, I doubt that this is the problem. Check the setting "HostnameLookups", it should be Off. -Dave __ Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) www.modssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Fine-tuning Apache and mod_ssl
Currently, running Apache 1.3.12 + mod_ssl 2.6.3. I'm currently looking for ways to fine-tune our e-commerce site to handle SSL transaction. Everytime a SSL connection is made, it takes ages to load the page. Ie. loading the shopping cart in secure mode. Is there any tweaks under httpd.conf which is worth editing ? All my settings are default when Apache and mod_ssl is installed. Any help will be very much appreciated. - ronnie - This email had been checked by Asiatravelmart.com's Virus Scanner.
