I would imagine that what is happening is that there are some files
being requested from a server that is very slow or down. This means
that until WWWOFFLE times out on the connections the slow connections
will remain. If there are too many of these slow connections they
will take up all of the allowed connections which is set by the
max-servers parameter. When the pages timeout then new connections
can be started.
