    rejects the requests, but the connections are still made, so the MaxClients limit is still exceeded...

    Thats DOS attack. It might be on one of your sites. See if you trace it. You can also get this sorted using a piece of hardware called cisco guard temporarily specially if you have your server at theplanet/servermatrix . I am not sure if other DCs provide cisco guards.
