Are you using SplayTime? I had trouble with cfengine clients gobbling
up all of my servers' connections. Rather than raising the limit I
found and used SplayTime to spread out the load. We're running cfengine
every 30 minutes here, so I set SplayTime to 25 minutes in update.conf.
This gives systems running on the 25th minute an ample five minutes to
run and release locks:
control:
!slave.!master:: SplayTime = ( 25 ) # minutes
One other problem I had was with incorrect ethernet duplex settings on
a couple systems. Their runs weren't finishing within thirty minutes,
and after a few days the connections were all busied up. It'd be nice
if cfservd had a maximum connection time limit so I'd get cfengine
email from the problem system rather than from all systems. Tons of
warnings is better than no warnings though.

No idea there. I started with 2.0.7p3 this past summer and haven't seen
that problem.
