Oops, I made a mistake in my last question?

Also we have multiple connections open between the two nodes.

Yes, we use http 1.0 between the two nodes, but We have hacked the
code to not close the connection and hence do real connection pooling.

Sorry for the confusion.

So to repeat the previous details....



The output from prospect is attached below for both the cases
1. When the connection is closed right away after every request.
2. If the connection is polled. We pool the connection.

My Cluster is made up of HP-UX node which does the forwarding and
windows nodes which does the actual work of processing the data and
stuff. I am concerned about the HP node, which takes up too much
kernel time in CASE 2 described above.

The prospect output when the socket kept open so that it can be
reused....
