We recently have suddenly been having problems with Apache (running on a
separate box) becoming completely unresponsive and one of our three
application servers not responding to wotaskd according to monitor.  The
problem seems to move from one server to another and randomly happen every
6-8 hours.

Here are some things that I tried:

1.  Checked all of the servers to see if there was high CPU usage (this
seems to stop wotaskd from working).  All of the servers were below 0.5 load
(and they are dual processors).

2.  Tried connecting to the server that according to WOMonitor is not
responding.  /cgi-bin/WebObjects/WOAdaptorInfo?user+password and
/cgi-bin/WebObjects/wotaskd.woa/wa/woconfig both returned expected
responses.

3.  I of course tried to restart wotaskd and apache.  It came back up for a
few seconds and then the same problem happened.

4.  We usually explicitly reference the servers in the Apache config:
WebObjectsConfig 
http://woapp1.yfu.org:1085,http://woapp3.yfu.org:1085,http://woapp4.yfu.org:
1085 10

Instead I merged all of the /wa/woconfig files to statically reference the
instances.  It created the woconfig file with no problem but the same
problem of no response continued.

I could only get the site up again by removing the server that womonitor
said was unresponsive out of the apache config file anre restarting apache.

Any ideas on what is locking up causing Apache to hang and wotaskd to
apparently half respond?

Thanks,
David
