That would be most unpleasant... and also seems like some sort of exploit if a client and run a server out of socket buffers so easily.

There are way more exciting things about a web server to exploit. :)

On a side note, I may be onto something... The server traffic right now is calming down, but it picks up... I made a change to the IPFW rules

Hrrm, are you running ipfw ON the web server box? If so, I'd be curious as to why, and whether or not the problem goes away if you take IPFW out of the equation. If IPFW is running on another machine, never mind.
