Currently, I have no firewall - the traffic is only running through the
routers, and no NAT. I keep meaning to load up a firewall at some point,
but I'm not sure enough of shorewall's configuration to actually turn it
on. (Locking yourself out is bad).

Apache is running on almost-default config, with a couple of tweaks for
.htaccess files.

The box now has 13 open connections, four of which are in CLOSE_WAIT
state.. (netstat -nt)

There's nothing showing up in the error or access logs :S

| Hello all,
|
| Slightly off topic.. I'm working on a debian server, which is currently
| hosting my blog: kirrus.co.uk <http://kirrus.co.uk>
|
| Unfortunately, something appears to be screwy with apache2 or something
| - connections aren't being closed, and are just backing up.
|
| You can see this in action, if you visit the blog. Sometimes it just
| doesn't hand you all the data, and firefox sits waiting for data from
| "kirrus.co.uk <http://kirrus.co.uk>".
|
| Apache just spawns server processes, till the RAM runs out. Then the
| kernel starts killing processes and it doesn't appear to kill the
| logical choice of apache2.
|
| I've tried pinging one of the other servers in the network, to see if
| its obviously a network problem. Out of over 20,000 pings, only 4
| weren't replied to. Is there any better way to check the network
| infrastructure?
|
| Anyone have any other ideas of things to try?
|
| Johnathon
