ipshttpd hanging
I am currently on a client site and they are seeing the HTTP proxy
(ipshttpd)
appear to hang. We have not been able to trace this to any particiular set
of events prior to the hang. We are running SP2. Has anyone seen this
before? If so, have you fixed it and how did you fix it?
Thanks!

I noticed that ipshttpd has a bug in managing the file descriptors - the
process uses up more and more fd's, and finally reaches a system limit.
Solution: 1)increase the system limit on the max. number of file
descriptors, 2) restart ipshttpd weekly or dayly.
Even better: do not use ipshttpd (if possible). Do you really need SSL
communication between the gateway and an Intranet Proxy Server? If not,
then you do need ipshttpd and you can use any plain proxy server, e.g.
Squid.
