This seems to be a problem with the outgoing remote concurrency. I'm not sure how this would be related to a tarpit attack. However, we have a standard toaster install - is the tarpit patch automatically turned on?
Also, since we've got the 'big concurrency' patch is there any problem with raising the remote concurrency to 200, 300 or even 500?

Sounds like a dictionary attack... Are you using the tarpit features?
