I'm trying to resolve dependencies using specified a specified status 

having the following in settings.

--------
<statuses default="integration">
	<status name="release" integration="false"/>
  	<status name="DEV" integration="true"/>
  	<status name="integration" integration="true"/>
</statuses> 
---------

Now in the ivy file I have some dependencies like the following (where
${revision.status} is set in ant depending on source-branch. 

------------
<dependency org="com.multisupport"
name="commons"rev="latest.${revision.status}" conf="compile->default(*)
"/>
------------


Running:

<ivy:resolve conf="runtime" /> 
As long as it runs this works as expected.

But: After a short while running on a CI (hudson) server, where the ivy
repository also is placed, resolving stops working due to connection
problems in httpClient.

which in the end results in unresolved dependencies.

It looks like that the problem might be that every dependency is downloaded (ivy, checksum, artifacts) and after ~ 
all connections on the server are used. 
So in effect <ivy:resolve> performs a dos against the repository.

Does any one had any similar experiences, and have a solution? 
-- what I can come up with is to clean up the dev repository, but I find that somewhat a no-solution



Should this be considered an ivy bug?
