ONS, you should check your my.cnf file and check the max number of connections. It should be 10-15% greater than the max connections in your httpd.conf file.
Also if you change mysql_connect function calls to mysql_pconnect connections will be reused more and require fewer connections.
You may also want to consider putting the db on its own box and let apache run on another. The db takes more resources than the web server so putting the db on a faster box will help.
If things are maxed out and its hardware, let us know. I bet the group could pony up some money for a faster box.
send me a pm if i can help at all
