not a merged server expert - at all - BUT
4D server does (or at least did in earlier versions) reject new client
connections during a backup.
it is possible that 4D server is doing a backup, changing the setting/disabling
connections during backup - then failing (in some manner) to correctly reset to
allow connections?
again - maybe - if this is the issue
either someone is trying to connect, an external process (an other server?) is
trying to connect, or a deamon is trying to run during the backup and this
action is "confusing" 4D server and it is failing to reset to allow connections.
