Author Do pushlets work with a front end server?

Running VW 7.3.1. Developed an application with the tiny http server
(ssp, servlets). Had many "pushlets" going (servlets, but keeping the
connection open, computing and sending data) and it worked fine.
Finally, I had to move to an external server with a front end. I
found that the pushlets would not work correctly with the front end
server. First I tried lighttpd as a front end, and now I have
configured an apache server, but the same thing is happening.

I'm not actually sure what is going on, but it acts as if the
connection gets reset or shut down or something. Usually I get a
little data from the pushlets, but they don't keep pushing. I have
verified that this problem only crops up when using an external server
with a front end. Everything works fine with just a tiny http
server. I found a "KeepAliveTimeout" config variable in Apache, and
set that to a large number, but it hasn't seemed to help, and I'm not
sure if the problem is on the front end or back end anyway.

Has anyone else run into this kind of problem? Does anyone have any
ideas?

Thanks.
