ACE Appliance SSL Offload: IE 7 / and other browser issues

[gkuchera]

I'm using a pait of ACE's to offload SSL from our web sites. I'm using the server reuse function on the ACE, I have the SSL certifiates working, in that you can connect to the site using SSL and the certs check out, etc..

The problem is: Some of our customers are experiencing issues particularly in IE7, where they will get partial page loads. I have reproduced it, and what I see is the page never seems to finish loading, When I sniff the outside stream I see resets coming back from the server side (ie the ACE.). Anyone have any thoughts? Or things to look at?

Thanks,

Geoff

further information: I turned off server reuse and the problem diminished. there are still some long pauses in page updates but that could be server wait times. So anyone have any idea how I can tune server-reuse? or check what might be causing this issue.
