We have a Sun Java System Web Server (7) running as a reverse proxy. When someone does a long running request (e.g. the web application does a major update on the DB) that doesn't return for a while (say 5 minutes) the proxy will resend the request to the back end web app, causing excessive load if it re-starts the operation.
Yes the web app can block re-requests, but the proxy should not resend the request, ever, period.
So the question is, how can I stop Sun Java System Web Server from re-sending requests?
