[Possible Site Bug] Keeps going down

I still think it's a server proc load issue. The browser connection doesn't get refused, it just hangs up forever on the response, until the browser finally times out. So it's not like a straight network issue, or Apache just dying completely... just serious sluggishness.

Trust me folks, i'm just as frustrated here as anyone. I've opened yet another ticket my our hosting provider. Here is what they have said so far - "there may be a problem with the raid controller. I have also found by checking the apache error logs is that you have hit a maxclients setting and this will cause any other requests to be held until an open connection becomes available."
I will keep you up to date on resolutions.

That's a scheduled server update or something like that. It's different from the lag that's experienced throughout the rest of the day.

At 4am EST everyday, we do our mysql database dumps for backup.
Here is the latest from our hosting provider - "have checked the server raid and it appears to once again be functioning normally. I found that the Raid was set to temporary write through to the disk which can indicate a problem with a bbu (battery backup) on this server and cause some performance problems since it is not writing to a cache, which is much faster. I would like to schedule about 15 to 30 minutes of downtime to see if this server has a BBU and that it is operating correctly.
I have also increased the MaxClients setting as requested. Please let me know when you are ready to have us check for the BBU."
I asked them to schedule the downtime as soon as possible to look at the BBU.
I'll keep you up to date when I hear more.
