Apache getting one behind on requests

Hello,

Our install of Apache on Solaris 8 seems to have a small problem.

We have one web server serving standard pages, and another web server serving
all staff homepages within our organisation. They both come from the same URL:

  http://homepage/ <-- standard web server
  http://homepage/~username/ <-- staff web server

The standard web server simply obtains the pages from the staff web server on
behalf of the user, and returns it to them, as if it all came from one server.

The problem we have sometimes though, is that the requests and responses get
out-of-sync, e.g.

  Request: Response from web server:
  http://homepage/~fred/ http://homepage/~fred/
  http://homepage/~user/ http://homepage/~user/
                 <SOMETHING HAPPENS>
  http://homepage/~hobbs/ Error 404.
  http://homepage/~mo/ http://homepage/~hobbs/
  http://homepage/~dave/ http://homepage/~mo/
  http://homepage/~edna/ http://homepage/~dave/

what's happening is that the web server is returning the response from the
request before the one that is actually wanted.

We need to find out what that "something" is that causes all this...

Has anyone else experienced this before??

Hobbs.
