Checking, the draft in question was
http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-kucherawy-sender-auth-header-03.txt

s/id/html/ - ugh, that works today.  Tying www3: okay. www2: okay,
www1: okay.  Probably I somehow managed that it's now in the cache
everywhere.

Checking another old draft:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-irtf-asrg-dnsbl-02

"Document contains no data" (but it works with www3).  Adding ".txt",
works.  That's _not_ the effect I had yesterday and sometimes before.

Trying more old drafts, not the wanted effect, but here:
http://www1.tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mengwong-sender-rewrite

document not found + additionally a 404 for the error document 
 
On www2: only a document not found, no additional missing err404.
On www3: same as www2

Now adding -01, same effect (now www1 doesn't claim that it has any
additional issue with the err404 document).  Adding -01.txt, still
no success.  Using www3 + id + explicit 01.txt: found.  Switching
from id to html: works.

Okay, that's plausible, if I use an exact name with id (not html)
on a specific server (especially www3), and then switch to ftml, 
it works.  

But that's probably no "apache upgrade" effect, we discussed a
similar effect some months ago, then you did something, I forgot
what, cleared the cache maybe, and it worked again everywhere.

Wild guess:  Your cache is too big for some odd race condition
somewhere, and www1 and/or www2 are more fragile than www3 wrt
this rare condition (?)
