I can't seem to break it...

ab -n 1500 -c 300

I get the same errors as in my original posting but Zope doesn't die. I left
it alone after these tests and it died about 25 minutes later with noone
using it. (its behind a firewall)

This weekend I installed daemontools and can keep it running or at least
restart it.

The problem is most definitely not with load. I probably has to do with the
way I have (mis)configured it. But for the life of me I can't see what it
would be.

Another odd thing with this set up is that some page requests from Netscape
4.x clients are very slow for what they are doing. IE and the new Mozilla
engine are lightening fast...same page. Doesn't matter what platform of
Netscape(*nix, Windows,Mac). The EventFolder product is the most obvious
case. It locks Netscape for minutes while IE and Moz browsers
load the page just fine.

I will try some other things. Thanks for the ideas.

Did this, doesn't seem to make a difference...
