The issue is with apache and the max-connections settings. The spiders
hitting me are forking and end up using the max connections in apache.
These are not google or grep.geeks spiders but some unknown sites who
run a harsh spider.

I iptables these spiders and they start using new IP addresses. The
situation will be fixed very shortly as I'm putting some new kit into
the DC and running a load-balanced wiki using nginx as the frontend.

Thanks for all the kind offers of help, I will sing out when it is needed.
