I have a server that stops making outbound connection after some time. It is hosting various weblogic 9.2.0 domains, and restarting one particular server solves the problem, until next time. At first I suspected the server had exhausted its ephemeral tcp ports like described here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2008/10/29/port-exhaustion-and-you-or-why-the-netstat-tool-is-your-friend.aspx. However netstat doesn’t confirm my diagnosis, can I trust netstat or am I missing something?
Thanks
Answer
Perhaps there is a connection leak – You’ll have to make sure that you’re not running file descriptors.
Is there a firewall between the server and it’s destination? There could also be a TTL defined on the server where it drops pooled connections after the pre-determined interval.
