[SAC] errors with Trac

[Paul Spencer]

We replaced our router with a fancy new dual-wan VPN router and it was  
configured to load balance outgoing traffic between a DSL and a cable  
connection (each having a different external IP address, one static  
and one dynamic).  I thought this happened some time before we started  
experiencing this problem and had forgotten about it.

The solution appears to be to direct all outgoing traffic to the osgeo  
servers trac, www and svn to use only one of the connections.  It is  
still unclear what is different between OSGeo's setup and the setup on openlayers.org 
  and our own trac/svn but I suspect that somehow the authentication  
is being done with some affinity to the user's IP address, which in  
our case was changing essentially randomly between subsequent  
requests.  I have not confirmed this.

I guess one question that could be asked is if any configuration  
change related to authentication happened recently that would be  
related to linking IP address with authenticated sessions.

Cheers

Paul
