In this case, I suspect it was an issue in conjunction with my logout script, where I was invoking CGI rather than FastCGI and causing some hung processes, but... I may do that, because it was a pretty heavy storm of connections.
Although they had diverse IPs.

I added mod_limitipconn to my Apache server and that seems to have kept the worst at bay (although I changed the 503 response code to 429). All it does is limit a single IP address to a fixed number of concurrent IP connections (and I have it set to 20, which still might be a bit too high).
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
