Just got a problem few days ago.
One of the sites got spam referrial attack and server seemed to not respond.

My idea what happened:
All children (10) were working on requests.
As new reqs came on all children were busy serving previous reqs thus multiplexer couldn't forward a new connection to child. And then it ran out of multiplexers (10) and whole server came to a standstill.

Is my theory correct?

Couln't it be possible to somehow work around that problem (giving some kind of 503 error after some timeout or spawn a new multiplexor, to save the situation)

Yeah i know, that those who could add this feature may be too busy with theyr real life to take a look at it since it seems like a considerable work, but maybe at least it could end up in faq or todo list.

Right now simple fixup for this would be to add (a lot) more multiplexors?
