Description Michal Karm Babacek 2016-05-23 07:55:12 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1200308 +++

If one misconfigures one's servers so as two or more of them reside on the same IP and port and they register with the Apache HTTP Server mod_cluster load balancer, the worker thread crashes on access to APR conf storage:

 > misc/apr_reslist.c:159: reslist_cleanup: Assertion `rl->ntotal == 0' failed.

Concern:
 - small, this is an administrator's error, no production system should be set up in such fashion

Suggestions:
 - proposed patch [MODCLUSTER-448] logs a warning that this configuration is non-viable
 - the aforementioned proposed patch does not deal with the crash itself, so it needs more work to be done; perhaps discarding such misconfigured workers altogether
