A. We recently went live with a DB application and the system ground to a halt. It could be due to many things, but the thing I'm looking at is the fact that we had many network connections.

That's correct. Each process or thread must have a separate connection. Before you can fix your problem, you need to find out what the problem is. It sounds like you haven't done much configuration, so the most likely problem is that you have MaxClients set really high and you are using up all the memory on the machine and going into swap. There's lots of advice on the mod_perl site about how to correctly tune MaxClients and related settings. - Perrin
