I've had this happen once. It wasn't CF in our case, it was IIS application pools in IIS becoming unresponsive after the configured fail count within a set period... For us it was 5 unresponsive pool pings in 5 minutes. IIS shuts down the pool and doesn't restart it to protect the other application pools. If you have significant load IIS can and will fail in this way... In your case, whether it is CF or not would only be answered by checking out the logs on the servers involved...
