Hello,

the following problems I wrote yesterday has been partly resolved now:

The problem did no longer occur after starting the "nscd" (name service
cache daemon) on the same host.

Thus I do no longer need to try compiling Apache with --without-ldap.
(Maybe this behaviour of the configure program could be worth fixing
nevertheless.)

This still happens. But I did not yet see problems correlating to this
message. (But perhaps this still indicates some problem in Apache that
might be worth fixing.)

This problem also did not longer occur after starting the "nscd".

This problem also did not longer occur after starting the "nscd".

I had installed Apache 2.2.3 on many hosts at the same time, those
problems that now disappeared only occured on hosts that were running
up-to-date GPFS servers at the same time (but not on those that only
were GPFS clients). I cannot imagine how GPFS service can interfere
with the name resolution, but obviously it happens.

Thanks to all who were willing to help me.
