The problem is that all the web servers stop responding to external
requests. Looking at the ports in use on each server...
. All of the web servers also have exactly 30 close-wait sessions
with the secure network appliance.
If I get this right, you have
browsers <--> network appliance <--> Apache httpd servers <--> other
stuff
and your CLOSE_WAIT sockets are on the Apache httpd servers, for
connections with the network appliance, right ?
Did you check (with "netstat -pan" e.g.) if that is really the case ?
If that is correct, it would mean that Apache has closed these sockets,
but is waiting for the network appliance to close it's side of these
connections, which never happens. Any idea why that might be ?
Another question : when that happens, how many Apache children/threads
are running ?
Maybe you just have 30 Apache children/threads that are "stuck" because
they are waiting for the network appliance to close these sockets, and
it never happens.
As long as they would be waiting for that, they would never be recycled
by Apache to handle new requests, which may explain what you're seeing ?
