Erm... under our peak load we were seeing it about every 4 days.  Since 
the load has dropped we haven't seen any signs of it.

We've been using apache with mod_rewrite and mod_proxy to give us 
multiple instances with rollover.  So far we've only been running one 
instance of each new version we deploy but we could easily run more than 
one to handle more load.  From there, we may stumble across other issues 
but I think that will get us a lot of the way.
