I dont' understand this - the messages ("limiting RST response freq.") are 
not showing on the server side (where the web server is), but on the client.

(Apache's default backlog is 511 and I raised kern.ipc.somaxconn to 1000 on 
the server).

But I've discovered a possible cause: apache httpd processes have been 
dyeing on the server, and occasionally I see: "collecting pv entries, 
suggest increasing PMAP_SHPGPERPROC". What is that?
