Slow connections

Any other suggestions? Another analysis of the logs shows that varnish 
vs other backends (CouchDB) I see an order of magnitude higher 
percentage of 3 second connection times with varnish.

Here's my varnish command options 
http://friendpaste.com/1Zvj1XkX75eKqdzrJQZcfK  and my sysctl changes 
http://friendpaste.com/3lt3uhIm1NTNhrqGxvQEX6 the sysctl on haproxy is 
identical.

If it makes a difference my VCL is pretty simple just with some header 
rewrites, round robin for 8 backend servers, exclusions for certain 
URI's and etc.

Thanks again!

-Joe
