State-Changed-Why:
Is the connection actually refused or just not serviced?
If you telnet to the virtual server, what does it give you?
If the connection is refused, that doesn't sound like a
starved socket problem unless the number of unaccepted
connections is hitting somaxconn; Dean?  What does that
default to in Linux, how can it be changed?

If you could work around your need for a Listen directive
for each server, you would eliminate a _lot_ of overhead.
If the file descriptor limitations are the only reason
you need multipl copies of Apache running, finding a
way to make Linux use more would be a good thing.

Did you ever see this problem before recently?  Have you
changed your Linux kernel recently?
