10 Do you by any chance use persistent database connections from php. In that
11 case you might want to look at setting a limit on those connections, or
12 maybe disallow (or remove the use) them. Also fiddling with the apache
13 client settings might work. 200 clients is a lot, so probably some are out
14 on their backs (dead). In the config you can control restarting of those
15 clients (how long they are allowed to be alive). If you have a really busy
16 site, they might actually all be in use in which case increasing this
17 limit is the solution.
