Here's another test to add to the list:

When everything appears to pause, block port 80 at the firewall for
a little while.  Remove the block and check whether the backlog has
been cleared and IC is responding once again.  If this test
succeeds then the problem is flood/backlog related.  If not then,
well, it was worth a try.

In effect, I think I have verified that Apache doesn't start
responding again even if port 80 were to be blocked.  Once
MaxClients has been hit Apache stops servicing requests as it won't
spawn any more processes and for
whatever reason non of the Apache processes ever die after this
point, even
if the server is left for many hours over night when I know the
traffic to my site is very low indeed.  Ron & Jeff - do you also see
this effect?

I will take a look next time the event happens while I'm in the
office. What you describe seems to be what happened when MaxClients
was reached last time.  Lots of processes running, but none of them
getting anything done.

Ditto

I did notice some MySQL processes taking more time and processor usage
then normal last night so I decided to run an optimize on all of my
tables.  The site definitely sped up and the site did not need a
restart last night.  I'm not sure if they are connected or not, but
perhaps John and Jeff can run optimize on their tables and then see
if the issue continues to happen.

I have a cron job to optimize the tables once a week in the middle of the night.
