I've noticed that my connection tracking counters keep increasing -
Which counters?

/proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_count

and when it reaches /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_max things break.
Could it be you are being DDoSed?

Anything's possible - but I don't have a high-visibility site. The connection counter increments gradually - a new connection every couple of seconds or so.

Trying to understand what's going on, I installed the "conntrack" tool. conntrack -S yields:
entries                 28752
searched                27822
found                   11950927
new                     457431
invalid                 333
ignore                  347677
delete                  465404
delete_list             428962
insert                  414575
insert_failed           0
drop                    0
early_drop              0
icmp_error              0
expect_new              0
expect_create           0
expect_delete           0
search_restart          0

But more confusing is conntrack -L only shows 52 entries.
