<div>Hello all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are experiencing intermittent connection issues between pgpool and our postgres database. We’re running pgpool 3.3.3 on CentOS, connecting to PostgreSQL 9.2.2 using SSL. Normally things are running along smoothly, but every once in a while we’ll get
the following errors in our logs:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>pgpool[5337]: pool_ssl: SSL_read: ssl handshake failure </div>
<div>pgpool[4779]: pool_ssl: SSL_read: ssl handshake failure </div>

</div>

</div>
<div>This will go on for a few minutes and then (usually) go away. During this time other (non-pooled) connections to the database continue to work. Has anybody seen something like this, or have any additional tips that we could use to debug this?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
