2.2.15 MASSIVE performance problems with proxycache enabled



Hi,

with the help of this list I configured a LDAP Proxy Server with overlay proxycache. My aim is to speed up Netscape/Outlook Address Book access.

First I was really impressed about the increasing performance...
But I found that if you query the LDAP-Server with just a few parallel queries slapd is only updating his cache and doesn't answer any further questions.


How to reproduce...

Just open Netscape Addressbook and enter a single character in the search field. Normally you get back around 100 entries.
The next time you enter the same letter, say 'a', you can see how fast the answer is available. Now try the same with 'b', 'c' and so on. Very soon you will see that slapd gives you no answer anymore. If you are patient enough you will see that slapd comes back after 5-10 minutes or so...


slapd -d256

Here ist the slapd.conf

What's wrong?

BTW If you diable all the proxycache stuff the Proxy Server works perfectly...

Best regards
