I would still use tcpdump and/or wireshark to find out more what is
going on and if all the incoming connections seem correct, you may have
to tune some parameters to allow a greater number of connections. Also,
if you have iptables connection tracking turned on, this might need to
be bypassed for connection on your database port. Connection tracking
does not always work well for large numbers of connections. But check
to see weather one or more clients are somehow failing to connect and
retrying the connection at a high rate for some reason.
Also Try
