We have a number of limits in place to stop anything bringing the site down completely. One of them cuts the forum to that site busy message if the server load exceeds a preset value. That limit is normally set to about 6.00 (the server normally runs at about 1.50 when busy). Today the load hit over 9.00 at one point, so that "safety valve" kicked in until the load fell again. I actually rasied it at one point to let more people on.

Too many connections actually has no connection with server load. Its purely down to the connection limit on mysql. Again we have this set such that the whole thing cant run away with itself and die.
We hit record concurrent guest and member figures, and survived very well.
