Hi,

I have a new install of the Wowza AMI v 4.4.1 setup as an origin server with MediaCache configured for an S3 media source.

This origin services a few hundred videos a day and after a few days the server (WowzaStreamingEngine provider) becomes slow and finally unresponsive until I restart the daemon.

In the logs, I see the following error occur about once an hour:

ERROR server comment 2016-07-06 12:45:59 - - - - - 0.019 - - - - - - - - MediaCacheHTTPByteReader.sendRequest[[http://xyz.s3.amazonaws.com:80/13749-desktop.smil]](http://xyz.s3.amazonaws.com:80/13749-desktop.smil%5D) : java.net.SocketException: Connection timed out|at java.net.SocketOutputStream.socketWrite0(Native Method)|at java.net.SocketOutputStream.socketWrite(SocketOutputStream.java:109)|at java.net.SocketOutputStream.write(SocketOutputStream.java:141)|at com.wowza.wms.mediacache.impl.MediaCacheHTTPByteReader.sendRequest(MediaCacheHTTPByteReader.java:1095)|at com.wowza.wms.mediacache.impl.MediaCacheHTTPByteReader.sendRequest(MediaCacheHTTPByteReader.java:1066)|

I reviewed the thread for [Frequest Media Cache time out errors](http://community.wowza.com/t/-/41141) and increased the timeout values to no avail.

All configurations for the origin are defaults other than the additional MediaCache config for S3. Any ideas what could be causing this?
