We are getting a really large number of “Reading Request” showing up in our Apache server status output. The server slowed to a crawl . We related it to access to a site on our network and disabled access but we are not sure why it would be generating such a problem. We do not believe it was a Denial Of Service attack. The server is a virtual host server for many web sites here 300+.
We are using Apache 2.0 on Solaris I have been googling and looking thru the archives for this mailing list but thus far no solutions. Anyone have experience with this or can point me to a helpful discussion from the past? Thanks John
