Looks like the servers are either not running or are having problems
accepting connections fast enough.

Have you run a no-proxy test? You probably want to make a no-proxy test
work first.

Make sure server machines have large enough listen queues (where SYN
packets are waiting for an accept(2) call). Sorry, I do not know how to
tune queue lengths on Linux. FreeBSD instructions are available on
Polygraph and TMF Web sites. You may want to use netstat or similar
tools to display statistics about the number of packets dropped or queue
overflows, etc.
