More details from talking to CT (and my own surprise that this is not a
"solved" problem):

1. Apache's end up using a single slave DB for their DB access.
2. When the DB goes down, client apps aren't smart enough to fail-over to the
next available DB -- they sit there waiting until they timeout and fail.
3. Apparently, because Apache/PHP is stupid and doesn't realize that it
shouldn't try again, step 2 keeps repeating until the DB is fixed.
