Do you have reason to believe that the OutOfMemory exception
is due to:
* some cumulative effect (e.g. memory leak), in which case
you need to restart, preferably (just) before it happens
* the qty of active sessions, so you need to load-balance
when near some threshold (offload to a less busy server
iff poss else "please come back later")
* the complexity of some user's request, in which case your
app isn't really "down" at all...
