Michael, Graeme,
thank you for your responses.

Michael, are you sure? I mean, I see this delays/connection failures right
now because our servers are still in the test stage and not under heavy
load. As I wrote, after some failed connections the server works as
expected; only if there are no new connections for some minutes the server
goes back into "death mode". It looks like incoming connections keep the
thing alive. So are you really sure that you don't hit the same problem
immediatly after a reboot?

Thanks for those. These are, except for the keepalive, settings I've
already tried.

Graeme, I've some netfilter rules, but I've already tried a kernel built
without the netfilter stuff (except for arptables). I couldn't imagine
it's netfilter because as I said, it works with Apache on the very same
systems without any problems.
I've added some debug code to lighty and activated the debug output of
eventpoll.c in the kernel. This revealed that the kernel's poll loop
doesn't receive anything from the underlying layers.
Hence I think it's neither a lighttpd issue nor an LVS one, but a kernel
bug (triggered on SMP systems when non-blocking sockets are bound to an
IP which is not on the interface the packets are coming in).
Again, thanks for your advices,
Jan
