Redhat secure server - Jul 2000 - SSL handshake interrupted?

My log file has been full of these:

[Tue Jul 25 09:48:08 2000] [error] mod_ssl: SSL handshake interrupted 
by system [Hint: Stop button pressed in browser?!] (System error 
follows)
[Tue Jul 25 09:48:08 2000] [error] System: Connection reset by peer 
(errno: 104)

Like tons and tons of them from all kinds of different places (I 
thought it was just AOL).

RedHat 6.2 with secureweb-3.2.1-1.

Any ideas?

Are you using a front end load balancer that does some type of
keepalive?

We use an Arrowpoint switch here, which does TCP keepalives
(basically, it connects to the port, notices that the SYN/SYNACK/ACK
handshake completes, then immediately disconnects.)

This causes my error logs to fill up with the same message.

If it''s from a lot of different addresses, it could also possibly be
simply users hitting the ''stop'' button before the page is
fully
loaded.  Or even just clicking on a link before all of the image
requests have completed.

Some number of these are normal, IMHO, but I suppose you need to make
a judgement call as to whether the number of these you''re getting is
within reason for the number of requests your site gets.

there''s a SonicWall but I don''t think it''s the
problem.

The reason I noticed it is because we''ve been getting a lot of people 
submitting duplicate orders, like 4 or 5 and I asked them why and 
they said it just times out when they submit the request, or says the 
page cannot be displayed.  I''m using PHP4 to genreate the pages and 
it works fine when I try it.  So I checked the logs and that''s what I 
found.

I dunno...
