I've said it at least once before but some people (yes, you Lac) don't pay attention
The thing with the message is that it's caused by some kind of hacker attack. The principle is to hit the server with more connectons than it can handle. And since there are enough connections open to fill the allowable limit, any others beyond that will be denied. Which is what the error message is about, a denial of service. And this type of attack is consequently called a "denial of service attach".
Who? Why? How? You fill in the blanks..
