Well, FIN ACK isn't the same as a tcp reset, it just means that the linux box 
wants to close the connection after a successful reply. What this probably 
means is that your apache (or whatever you're using as a web server) isn't set 
to try to reuse connections. The configuration keywords you want to look for 
is probably KeepAlive and KeepAliveTimeout

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#keepalive

It also looks like there could be a client side issue, if it's using HTTP/1.0
