I guess in the literal sense, it /is/ an unavailable service, so 503 would be a more ... diplomatic response :) . I think of it as something that's self-correcting ... corrected when the server load drops and mod_cgid can begin to keep up again. so, eh. I suppose it's more of how people feel about such things. Personally, I'd go for 503. 500 is overloaded imho and maybe a bit ambiguous in this case. /dale
