try "sockstat" to see if there is an IP pattern. Could it be that you are getting hit hard w/ nimda and the like? check you access-logs. Try putting this in your httpd.conf, doing a configtest and then keep an eye on the virus_log file. SetEnvIf Request_URI \.exe$ microsoft_bs SetEnvIf Request_URI \.dll$ microsoft_bs SetEnvIf Request_URI \.default.ida$ microsoft_bs CustomLog /logs/virus_log combined env=microsoft_bs If you have PHP support built into apache, set a max_execution time in php.ini and keep us posted. Good luck!
