Uh oh, I fear that I may have started you down the cold, dark path towards becoming a sysadmin!!! :)

If you're interested in taking this further, it's a great chance to figure out how you would:

a.) Deal with a 503 if it happened while your site was under heavy load.

b.) Harden your site to avoid 503s.

Have fun and thanks for your kind response!!
