Houston, we have a problem.
It appears that some of you guys
may be killing the server.
We've been trying to trace the reason for Apache crashing regularly recently and I have to rule this out.
Can you please do us a favour and reduce the maximum connections to 16 or less, 8 is ideal.
So why is this killing the server?
Here's a good example:

"#13 Great little tips, but only one problem, and that's that you're breaking servers by doing this. 3-5 requests is fine, but trying to do 30 requests at once puts some strain on the server. If two people try to access the same page at once with this set, that's 60 connections. Most httpd's are set to cut off after there are 100 connections made. So, 4 people with this set could not access the same site. I urge you to think things through before setting something like this and killing the websites you browse."
