We are using Net::Server::PreFork on three different servers with a load balancer in front of them. We have about 1000 devices spread out over the U.S. trying to make connections every 10 seconds. We've noticed that sometimes devices have difficulty making connections, and upon further inspection we noticed that even our load balancer is reporting connection failures to the server. The load balancer makes a connection to the Net::Server application just like any other device, so that it can measure performance, and balance the load accordingly.

I've tried tuning the OS (ubuntu kernel 2.6) with sysctl with no improvement.
I'm wondering if perl (5.8.8) or Net::Server could be the issue. How would I be able to tell?

Thanks,
Aaron
