IBM HTTPServer multiple connections problem!!!
Dear Experts!
We are using IBM HTTPServer 1.3.28. In built with Apache 1.3.x running under RHEL3 machine.
All traffic to our application server (WAS6 on other server under RHEL3) are routed via Webserver(IHS 1.3.28).
What happens is when multiple connections (already set to 1000) hits certain range our clients are facing delays in connections.
We have proper load balanced mechanism before choosing web servers, but we provide connecting to existing sessions options for our clients. In this case if a client unfortunately face any n/w prob, still he can connect to his prev session. He will be connected to the same webserver where he was previously.
Almost everyday our clients are reporting that they are facing if maximum connections reach certain limit, say above 600 (but it is set to 1000) they are facing delys in connections.
Can any one help me to move in right direction with this multi-thred issue with web servers(IHS)?
Looking forward for you response!

What type of hardware are you running this on? 600 concurrent connections could be to many for the hardware you have.
Have you thought about upgrading to the most recent version? It is based on Apache 2.0.

Thanks for your replies.
I came to know IBM IHS 1.3.28 supports upto 4096 connections simultaneously.
We have a fliter in between created by our application if total connections reaches the property maxConnections then we don't allow further connections.
But we see in all situations this filter is working fine. It is now set to 1000 value!!!
But clients reporting IHS failing after 600 threads!
Coming to hardware, all our servers are VMware virtual machines. But highly configured machineds!
Any comments will be highly recieved!

Can any one recommend few tools to monitor connections to my web server.
FYI:
Web server is running under RHEL3 machine, with IBM HTTP 1.3.28 installed.
I had googled before posting this message but most of the tools are of after IHS 2.x release. Didn't find suitable for IBM HTTP Server 1.3.28.
It would be greatly received if I get any comments!!!
IBM's HTTP sever is nothing more than a slightly modified Apache. So you can look for monitoring tools for release of Apache that IBM is running. I think that IBM's number matches Apache, so you can look for Apache tools for 1.3.28. I know that there was a mod_status for Apache 1.3 where you monitor some type of information within Apache.

I think I have to close this thread, we found lot bugs in our source implementation... effecting to cause this problem...
Thanks everyone who tried to help me...
