You mention OpenACS -- I had a server that got bogged down tremendously
the other day when it got hit with about 2100 HEAD requests from script
kiddies looking for exploits.

It seems that a HEAD request is still processed by OpenACS, and even
though it is a HEAD request, it does set up a session and set a cookie.

Have you checked your weblogs around the downtime periods to see what
other action might be taking place?
