I call this the "thundering herd" problem in the HOWTO. This was supposed
to have been put in the ip_vs code at least 2 yrs ago in response to this
problem being reported, but I haven't looked in there to see if it really
was put in and I haven't tested it.
I guess you could bring up an extra realserver in the middle of a full
bore test and see if it dies from overload.
