When you say too many concurrent connections do you mean that mysql is complaining about the maximum number of connections or because the system is struggling?
If it's simply mysql complaining then just increase the number of connections (default is 100 I think?) e.g. max_connections=100 to say max_connections=500 http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/too-many-connections.html To add your my.ini file in the [mysqld] section add: set-variable=max_connections=500 or add --max_connections=500 as an argument to your mysql start up script. Are using using persistent web connections? These may eat up your mysql max_connections. There is a section on this in Jeremy Zawodny's high performance mysql -- http://highperformancemysql.com/ -- worth a read.
