Re: What happened to rpgenerationx.com?

Andrew,

This sounds like it may be related to the number of threads your HTTP Server
was running.  Normally an IE client requires two (2) threads, and a Netscape
client may require up to twelve (12) threads.  Do you recall the number of
concurrent users you were trying to support, and the threads you were
running?

This is a common problem with HTTP server classic (I don't know if it
happens on Apache) on an AS/400...

The 400 takes connections and then instead of answering, it starts failing,
and instead of answering slowly - it craps out...

The pattern is CPU usage is THROUGH the roof while the world creams us, then
CPU usage drops to almost nothing, while the system TCP/IP connections rise
un-answered.  It then (after about 2 minutes or so) comes back to life, but
it's not the same - you then END & restart the server and it works again.

This was something I noticed with a HIGH volume hitting fast and furious.
