We found a big problem with one of the servers against which we authenticate, which was holding up both our server requests as well as that of the server to which we are proxying, and that was causing things to behave badly.
Also, as most of you probably know, the '.' in the 4th column means '"." Open slot with no current process', so I guess that the request and the process that served it are both done and gone. Nothing to worry about, but in the context of the other problems that we were seeing with the servers, it was causing some concern. In any case, thanks for being there.
