<pre wrap="">Hi Scott,
first off, thank you for taking the time to improve Hunchentoot and
for sending a proposed patch. Please have a look at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://weitz.de/patches.html">http://weitz.de/patches.html</a> before submitting your next patch for
review. In particular, it makes reviews much easier if there is
documentation about what the patch means to do.

<pre wrap="">A few notes:
- The function conditionalized out with #+++potentially-faster-way
is meant to be a hint as to how we might refuse the connection
without invoking the overhead of accepting the over-the-limit
connection. It might be slightly faster, but I don't know if
I like the idea of constantly closing and reopening the listener.

I don't like the idea, as it opens up a race condition which will
result in connections being rejected under high load.

I don't understand what race condition you mean.<br>
Would you please explain?<br>
<br>
About rejecting connections: We understand that<br>
this behavior would not always be desirable, <br>
and I assumed that Scott means it as an option<br>
rather than the only possible behavior. This<br>
behavior can be useful in a cluster of servers,<br>
in which you'd like to tell the load balancer<br>
that it should choose another server.<br>
<br>
Thank you!<br>
