****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
A new custom property is available for the webserver plugin.
ServerIOTimeoutRetry
Specifies a limit for the number of times the HTTP plugin
retries a request that has timed out due to ServerIOTimeout.
The default value, -1, indicates that no additional limits
apply to the number of retries thus the request may be retried
up to as many servers exist on the cluster or until a response
is received. A 0 value indicates there are no retries. Retries
are always limited by the number of servers in the cluster.
Important: This directive does not apply to connection
failures or timeouts due to the HTTP plug-in ConnectTimeout.
Setting the property within the Administrative Console:
Click Servers > WebSphere application servers > server_name,
next, click the "+" next to Administration within the Server
Infrastructure section, and then click Custom properties.
Enter in "ServerIOTimeoutRetry" for the name and a numeric
value for the number of retries for the application server.
??????NOTE - Any server may be chosen within the cluster
this value. If multiple servers have this value set, the
property take the value from the last found.

Problem conclusion

The ServerIOTimeoutRetry can now be controlled.
The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 8.0.0.5 & 7.0.0.27.  Please refer to the Recommended
