Apache fine for awhile, then stops serving...

I'm having a weird problem, and I've searched through the site for a solution, but I could not find one (may be blind?).

Note that this is a new server....

After a few hours, apache will suddenly stop serving pages, the process is still there sitting idle, it just doesn't respond to requests.

When I restart it, it works for another couple of hours then stops again.

At first I thought it was a log rotation problem, but it does it regardless of when the logs are rotated.

Then I think DDoS, but the only active connections are from googlebot and MSN bot, and I know those two have been known to be voracious webpage eaters, but they never brought my other servers down...

I didn't notice anything strange in the logs...

If there is a similar problem out there with solution, please point me to it or at least help me get going in the right direction.

Thanks!
