I have an Apache 2.2.4 server using proxying to front-end a back-end application server.
I have a page on the application server that is a simple index.html with about 50 objects (graphics, css, etc). This page size is 300,000 bytes. When I am on the apache server and use WGET (text browser) to the IP address of the application server, all of the 300KB of data is downloaded quickly. When I am on the apache server and use WGET to the IP address of the apache proxy server that is in front of the application server, the 300KB download takes 10-20 seconds. My gutt tells me I have a proxy/keepalive issue. However, I have tried everything under the sun to make this proxied connection better, and can't figure it out. My application server (IIS) has HTTP-KeepAlives enabled with a timeout of 10 seconds. One thing to note, I can download via WGET a 50MB file from the appserver using the apache proxy address faster than I can download the 300KB of data, still going through the same proxied address. My Apache config: <VirtualHost> ....... ProxyPreserveHost On KeepAlive On ProxyPass / http://172.27.164.60/ keepalive=On ProxyPassReverse / http://www.mydomainname.com/ ....... </VirtualHost> Any comments and ideas are greatly welcome. Thanks! Scott
