# Server won't reply to POST request

 * I’m working on a WordPress site that’s served by two lighttpd backends behind
   an F5 load balancer.
 * Previously, the site was served by a single lighttpd server behind a nginx reverse
   proxy, and everything worked fine.
 * Now, sometimes when sending POST info from the WordPress admin (for instance,
   when editing general options or editing navigation menus) the site won’t reply
   anything at all. I know that it’s receiving the request, because it actually 
   updates the info, but the browser never gets a response.
 * I’m not seeing anything unusual on the WordPress debug log or the lighttpd logs,
   so my guess it’s that the problem it’s related to the load balancer.
 * Can you think of any reason for this behavior?
