Serving from a FreeBSD box behind a DSL router on my home IP is extremely slow, on the order of an hour/meg. Other stuff over the same connection is near the full speed of a second/meg or so. Hitting the server from another box on the local network is fast. Any ideas on what is happening, or parameters I should check in the Apache, the OS, or the router?

Up the number of threads?

It's just a single request, nobody else is hitting it, just a big difference depending on whether the request comes from the local network or outside.

Are you use forwarding tcp requests to another port? If you're using mod_jk, up the number of workers.

No mod_jk. The router is forwarding inbound port 80 to the FreeBSD machine running Apache.

I suspect your router is the bottleneck if apache is faster from the inside.

It has to involve the router, but then the router seems to be fast for everything else.

Have you tried accessing apache directly from the outside without the router? What's your upstream speed? If it's 128k, then it's going to be slow.

perhaps the port 80 outgoing is throttled to prevent people from having a web site? or viruses from spreading? when your web browser goes out to a web site, it does not use port 80. so try changing your httpd.conf to use port 8083?
