Thanks.  The interesting part is:

That "broken pipe" indicates the TCP connection with the client was broken unexpectedly; the necessary bytes for the next message in the TLS stream could not be written.  When that happens, there is no recovery, so mod_tls has to disconnect the client, so that a new TLS stream is created.

There are multiple reasons why a TCP connection can break like that; it's hard to say what the cause is for certain.  Common culprits are firewalls and proxies, in between the client and the server.
