Hi Jean,

I think we have already done that

<IfModule prefork.c>

StartServers       8

MinSpareServers    5

MaxSpareServers   20

ServerLimit      256

MaxClients       256

MaxRequestsPerChild  4000

</IfModule>

But on Jboss the threads keep on growing, I did a simple netstat on port 8009 on Apache Web and App servers and the count does not synchronizes between them (on Web there are more then 100 connections and on App there are thousands of them) and I reckon this will grow till my max connection setting in Jboss

Apache WebServer 8009 connections

netstat -o | grep 8009 | wc -l

113

Jboss Application Server 8009 connections

netstat -o | grep 8009 | wc -l

2705

You need thread dumps of the Jboss AS to find where the thread are waiting. You can also change to the normal connector (native="false" the configuration.

I ran into this issue, appeared to have a lack of AJP connections feeding info to the balancer.  Try adding the following max-connectors parameter in your standalone-ha.xml based upon which connector you are using:

<connector name="http" protocol="HTTP/1.1" scheme="http" socket-binding="http" max-connections="3000"/>

<connector name="ajp" protocol="AJP/1.3" scheme="http" socket-binding="ajp" max-connections="3000"/>

<connector name="https" protocol="HTTP/1.1" scheme="https" socket-binding="https" secure="true" max-connections="3000">

I have around 1200 concurrent users, just picked a higher value and like magic it started behaving itself.
