Hello,
In attempting to show improvements in Session Caching I have done the
following:
# Against a single web server:
Openssl s_client -connect web-tst-1:443 -state -reconnect > /tmp/mylog.txt 2>&1
Then I would `grep -i reuse /tmp/mylog.txt` and it shows that the session was
reused.
# Against the load balancer which is LVS (linux virtual server w/ TUN method)
Openssl s_client -connect lb-web-tst:443 -state -reconnect > /tmp/mylog.txt
2>&1
Then I would `grep -i reuse /tmp/mylog.txt` and it shows that the session was
never reused and a new one was created everytime.
I then created a more detailed test using openssl s_client and dumping the
session using `-sess_out` and then tried to make follow up calls using
`-sess_in` and providing the session ID.
Again if I hit a single server the ID is reused but if I go through the load
balancer and the request hit difference servers that session is not reused.
I tried downing a web server behind the load balancer so only 1 server was up
and the session was reused.
So I guess I have two questions:
1. Is the manner in which I am testing SSLSessionCache correct?
2. My understanding is that the Session cache is shared amongst all the web
servers so the SessionID would be reused, if that correct?

Yes. From Apache 2.3 there's general support and various modules use it.

Can't speak for centos packages, but 2.2.3 is a very old apache version.

Not working? What is the difference between what you expect and what you see?
