dialtone problem.new server down

this is what happens at dialtone.
i got my new server.
after the switch over to the new server the server load average is 240.
first the dialtone guys said that someone is trying to knock your server offline by hitting the httpd port (port 80) with SYN Flood.

that really scared me off.
after 24 hours of downtime the guys there say that apache not being able to process all requests fast enough.


this is really weird.a brand new server and this is the product i get.
im sure it cant be a syn attack.

what do u guys think the problem with apache could be.
any any advice guys.


thanks
digger
