[Mono-list] Some issues with mono 2.0

Yes, both. That is (to be clear), either:

A) A request comes in and the maximum number of requests are already 
being processed, so this request waits (it sleeps for short intervals) 
until the number of currently-being-processed requests drops below the 
maximum. If that doesn't happen within a certain amount of time 
(hard-coded in mod_mono), the request is dropped with 503. (Service 
Temporarily Unavailable)

B) A request comes in and the maximum number of requests are already 
being processed, but there are also already the maximum number of 
waiting requests waiting, so this request gets dropped *immediately* 
with 503 (Service Temporarily Unavailable).

So I was half-wrong before because I forgot that another way to avoid 
503s is to increase the timeout in mod_mono (but as I said, it's 
hard-coded) so requests can wait longer. But it's already fairly long 
--- 20 seconds or something.
