First, I am running an Apache 1.3.22 with Tomcat 3.3 using shared mod_jk, mod_ssl and mod_rewrite on a Sun Netra X1 Solaris 8, JDK 1.3.1_02 with os and jvm recommended patches applied.
I notice that I have a growing number of processes that are left in a "w" state according to server-status. I check using netstat and see that there are sockets hanging out in a TIME_WAIT state. These will hang out for who knows how long but I have some that are days old (when apache was last restarted). Is this a bad-client issue, configuration of apache issue, apache-tomcat-session issue or something else I'm not considering. I'm guessing it may be an Apache issue but since I monitor this forum and see lots of expertise on combined containers I thought I'd start here. Any advise or direction is greatly appreciated.
