I've made a couple changes tonight to try to prevent this from happening.

1) increase the number of listening MirrorManager app instances, from
2 to 4, on each of the app servers.  This should allow more
simultaneous HTTP requests.  The report_mirror upload can take a
while, which would tie up one of the request slots.  We made a similar
change yesterday for the mirrorlists.

2) a better URL for the haproxy that fronts admin.fp.o/mirrormanager,
to ensure that the MM app itself is running and capable of talking to
the database, and not just apache able to serve up a static file.
This should catch the app server instances if they lose their
connection to the database somehow.

I'm hoping this will address the problems.  If you still see problems,
please let us know.

Thanks,
Matt
