I had the exact same problem on Mono 1.9.1 . It is actually a known bug 
in mod_mono, and is reportedly already fixed in SVN. See my report: 
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=392228 (patch included).

You might also run into the following bug: 
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=392235 , reportedly also 
fixed in SVN, which interferes with attempts to place the primary mono 
server as TCP. This report also has a patch included.
