Yes, it is difficult to do 1-for-1. In postfix there are parallel client processes reading a shared session cache, and parallel writers updating that cache, and without major changes to the code, when two writers update the cache back to back only one ticket (really SSL_SESSION object) is saved. Under load, many clients would not find a ticket at all. -- Viktor. _______________________________________________ TLS mailing list TLS@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/tls
