My advice to you is don't use this version 4 that comes with Web*4 there is a bug that will bring down your server
I had experience of this after running load balancing on Web*3 and then upgrading...

Eric was responding to testing by Thomas Wedderburn-Bisshop <listst@woomeranet.com.au> who had exactly the same symptoms as ourselves, removing the QDNS v4 plug-in fixed it. We are going to try the v3 plug-in again when we have a quiet moment.
I must say that on Web*3 it all worked brilliantly.
