Default "Server Is Too Busy. Try Again Later" ....but only 107 users online

Didn't really bother me, just thought it was worth mentioning. I've noticed upwards of 650 users on consistently w/o any site lag or that message popping up, but I just got that message about 10 times in a row when I tried a few different things, at about 130 central std time. With only 107 users online, whats that all about?? LOL.

Looking back at the logs, one of the two server ramped up extemely quickly from several thousand "hits" all at the exact same point in time. The server load shot up from its usual 0.8 to just over 75 (the limit that triggers the "server too busy" message). I have a "watchdog" job that runs once per minute on the machines that saw the high load, and disconnected everyone from that server and refreshed everything
