I ran a flush hosts on coredb and the problems went away. A show processlist didn't show an abnormal amount of connections, though, so I don't know what was causing it. This is a very bad problem as it has taken down websites for the past 2 mornings.

It appears that we are having database problems this morning. I assigned the ticket to Ken because he generally handles database stuff, but anyone that can help would be appreciated as I don't really have the knowhow on how to fix this. -corby
