We experienced a similar type of problem a while back. The cause was traced to an attack from the web trying to infect our server with a Windows virus. The virus was unsuccessful since we run Linux/Apache/CF5 but the number of Apache processes kept increasing until the setup stopped working.
Initially we installed chron job which constantly checked the number of open processes and restarted Apache whenever the number went above a setpoint. While we had a temporary halt, there were no major disruptions. But not too elegant. We then worked on our firewall to reject the offending sites but new offenders keep popping up. I also would be interested in solutions that others may have used.
