DA1 – restarted

The DirectAdmin virtual server da1 was restarted due to a runaway process count.
At 8:42am, we received a nagios warning about the number of processes running on the gt24-2 node (almost 3 times its normal).
Upon closer inspection, 1/3rd of all processes belonged to the da1 VM.
At at 8:47am, we elected to restart the VM — some held connections were evident during the restart.
By 8:49am, the da1 VM was available and the number of processes back to normal.
