Sounds like you already answered your question: you need more dynamic
servers and do load balancing across them.

If you have 150 concurrent users, maxconnections = 100 could be a
factor. maxthreads = 65 ... do you have that many concurrent
connections?
I'd suggest raising maxconnections to, say, 500 (just to rule that out
entirely) and observe the effects. I might raise maxthreads to 120,
too.
Of course, all of this tweaking and tuning won't have as much impact as
actually optimizing your application code. Unfortunately, I'm not very
familiar with dotlrn or OpenACS to be able to speak to specific things
you should look at. Maybe someone else can speak up about those things?

Do you have any kind of statistics from the DB side? What's the max
number of concurrent connections you've actually seen, according to the
DB?
