This line is very telling:
Server overloaded with 5 processors (5 max). Dropping connection
Mongrel has a numprocs setting that defaults to 900 i think. It
looks like somehow it is being set to 5 in your mongrels so they
start timing out threads when there are more then 5 connections in
mongrel being processed. I'd say up your numb procs to 50 or so and
if you are using haproxy make it limit connections to mongrel to one
at atime. That way the requests queue in haproxy and only go to
mongrels that aren't busy.
