Ok... so now the other question. Would you agree that we're hitting this
timeout?  This is what we get flooded with when it happens:

pop3d: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: Resource temporarily unavailable
pop3d: authentication error: Resource temporarily unavailable

Sam can tell me if I'm off base here, but I don't think you're hitting the timeout. I think what's happening is that all of your authdaemon processes are getting stuck doing queries and can't accept new connections. New connection attempts will fill up the socket queues, and once those are full you'll start seeing that error in your logs. If your authdaemon were timing out connections, you'd probably see log messages from the authdeamon process rather than pop3d.

My question is, what kind of "major changes" are you making that cause the SQL server to hang?

When these errors come, they come in bunches and typically I'm able to go to
that server and still authenticate so it's not failing all of the
connections, just a fraction of them. My take is that Authdaemond is just being touchier than our other apps and that adjusting this timeout could
help.

I don't think so. In fact, I think that if you increase the timeout, you'll actually see more errors. When the SQL server hangs, your authdaemon processes will just be backed up for longer periods.
