It's hit or miss, but the first time someone visits the web site, they get

The problem appears to be something in the initial communication with the
web server. Using tcpdump, I can see that the PC connects to the web
server and sends the GET request, but the server closes the connection
abruptly. Comparing that flow to a normal session, I see that there are
some extra packets between the initial SYN and the sending of the GET
phrase that do not exist during a successful session.
I'm running 5.4-STABLE FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #0: Thu Aug 18 (built from the
stable source as of that day).
I'm using apache 1.3.34. I was on 1.3.33 and rebuilt the port to see if
that was the problem.
I'm not sure if this is an apache problem or a FreeBSD problem. Any
suggestions on further troubleshooting or known issues?
Thank you!

On a couple of occasions, I've had a similar problem that was the
result of Apache having multiple processes running, and 1 of the
running processes was failing while all the others were okay.
Try refreshing about 20 times and see if the problem comes and goes or
if it only occurs on the first connection.
In any event, restarting Apache fixed the problem for me.
