I've checked the logs and thought that the Nimbda virus was bogging my server down, this was after I increased my MaxServers in http.conf from 10 to 20. Even then I had 13 httpd processes running. The weird part is that there will be periods of time when I can access any of my web sites just fine for about 5 minutes or so before I start getting "The page Could not be found" errors in IE. Nothing has changed recently in the configuration, so I tend to lean towards being DOS'ed, either via Nimbda or...? I'm seeing the attempts in my log, but right at this moment I'm not seeing any new ones, only have 5 http process's active.. and still can't access any of my domains via WWW. Anyone have any ideals?
