 When I receive an log entry on the error_log such as "No route to host",
 any further connections using the proxy server will time out on the
 client.  (At least from what I see in the log patterns).

 Not 100% sure.  I am just going by error log patterns.
 
 Another thing that does appear occationally on my error_log is 
 
 [Mon Nov  3 11:06:19 1997] [error] server seems busy, spawning 4 children
 (you may need to increase StartServers, or Min/MaxSpareServers)
 
 However, I have already increased the server from the defaults to:
 
 MinSpareServers 100
 MaxSpareServers 200
 StartServers 100
 
 There are less than 10 people using the proxy server.
