Look at the MySQL processlist to make sure your issue does not stem from connections hanging around for an extended period of times.<br />
<br />
Look at the webserver log stats, requests per second/minute which pages, etc.<br />
<br />
What is the setup?

How can I figure out why I have so many connections on my MYSQL Server?<br />
<br />
In the monitor area I'm showing around 90-100k connections at any given time and there are only a handful of people on the website at any given time. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Is there some way I can start drilling down to see what the issue is?<br />
