IMAPS terminating abnormally

[David Korpiewski]

Sometimes I feel like an absolute idiot.  I figured out what this is. 
The load balancer I have does not have the capability to connect via 
IMAPS to see if the cluster nodes are up and running, therefore the test 
it does to just telnet into the imaps port.  However, this telnetting in 
is causing this error.  If I check, sure enough the problem appears 
roughly around every 60 seconds, which is what the port test is set for 
its frequency.

I apologize for annoying the list, but I sincerely thank Pascal for the 
help!
