Yeah, I know it's normal, but when we get a couple hundred of these out here
we usually get a comparable number of httpd children and the server just
stops accepting new connections.  We have only one Unidata instance sending
these things so there shouldn't be any reason why the Apache server would
stop allowing connections if each one gets disconnected in a timely manner.
