Stab in the dark: your web server could be doing DNS lookups to write
the client hostname to the log.  If you have no group statement, DNS will
not work (because that's an outgoing session), so the HTTP request will
be very slow (DNS timeout).

The keepalive will determine "HTTP server down" and will take the 
server out of service.

(As said, this could be completely off base, but you might want to do
some tcpdumping on the server to verify what's going on).
