Just a quick followup on this message. I think Nick's theory on DNS was right. I talked to my ISP provider, and they do a DNS lookup in the switch for every web request. So, even though the server and client weren't doing DNS lookups, the intermediate network was. And the symptoms of the probl

Hi Nick, I'm puzzled by the client DNS theory, since I had the host (in Windows, mind you) directly mapped in /etc/hosts. (the Windows equivalent). The argument in favor of the DNS theory is that we ran a web test of DNS with www.dnsreports.com and it reported several problems. (we were using

Thanks, Nick. Can you explain your question about DNS? My assumption is that if I had a reverse DNS issue, I could identify it by running tcpdump on port 53 on the server. (e.g. with HostnameLookup) I did this and saw no TCP/UDP traffic. To eliminate the possibility of client DNS issues, I har

[EMAIL PROTECTED] performance problem in one virtual host

Hi, I've had a bizarre performance problem earlier this week and I can't figure it out. It'd be great if anyone had suggestions. Twice recently, I've had extremely slow performance serving static files from a single virtual host on my Apache server. Files that were sent to Tomcat with mod_jk r
