Hi,

Every now and then, Apache 2.2.2 starts filling my
httpd-error.log with thousands of lines like:

[Sat Jul 08 20:57:32 2006] [warn] (61)Connection refused:

I'm running Apache in FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE-p2 jails.

Restarting Apache cures the problem for some time, until the
problem appears again. It is not that frequent, but the
servers are not much loaded either.

I think I saw this problem appear with Apache 2.0, 2.1, and
2.2, so it's apparently here for a while. And others had this problem
too:

n+refused%3A+connect+to+listener+on+0.0.0.0%3A80&rnum=1>
&hl=de#e2d0d9ba4ad7266e

I'm pretty sure this problem must be BSD or Jails specific.
Does anyone have the same problem, or maybe a workaround?
Note that Lighttpd NEVER had this problem on this server.

One more precision: of course, when apache starts filling the log with "Connection refused: connect to listener on 0.0.0.0:80", the web server does not respond anymore, until I restart it.
