[stunnel-users] stunnel consumes 99% cpu at HPUX

Wed Nov 3 18:57:06 CET 2004

Hi All,

We set up stunnel from two linux machines located at DMZ to a HPUX cluster located at Private Zone. There is firewall in between. We use stunnel to encrypt Tomcat AJP traffic from apache web servers on linux machines to JBoss app server a HPUX cluster. The stunnel run at HPUX cluster was started as deamon mode and listened on a cluster failover IP instead of host IP. We found that the stunnel process at HPUX cluster consumed 99% CPU after run for a few days (started at Oct 26 10:26 and it was reported 99% CPU at Oct 29 23:00, under a very low traffic. Can anyone help?

The debug log at HPUX is also attached, as shown in the log there was no requeset on Oct29 but the CPU still shot up to 99%.

Cheers,
Gavin
