I had a similar problem - our log read: /!\ FAILSAFE /!\ Thu Apr 29 10:55:46 -0400 2010 Status: 500 Internal Server Error Host 'coolhostname.com' is blocked because of many connection errors; unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts'
so, that mysqladmin flush-hosts cleared up the problem, but then the problem happened again and again. We ended up fixing it for good by setting 'max_connect_errors' to 512.
