Hi Sean,
first of all, thank you for your reply, it brings me a start point for my
investigation.
I've checked my log files and haven't found anything.
You're true about one thing, my server is under a high volume of traffic
(more than 15 000 distinct IP addresses a month for only one of the website
hosted on the server).
I've already guessed about a denial of service attack and my firewall is
configured to stop any kind of intrusion.
Is it possible to crash an Apache server with a flood type attack ?
I'll try "apache2triad" bundle and see if I still have the problem.
Thank you once again.
Cordially,
David
