netstat shows that there are 153 connections are on status CLOSE_WAIT. The connections never gets closed. So overtime the server is filled with these connections which fills RAM and now the websites are not loading.

netstat shows many like the following:

tcp      160      0 my_server_name:http         my_server_name:51584        CLOSE_WAIT
tcp      160      0 my_server_name:http         my_server_name:51586        CLOSE_WAIT
tcp        0      0 my_server_name:http         my_server_name:50827        CLOSE_WAIT
tcp        0      0 my_server_name:http         my_server_name:50830        CLOSE_WAIT
tcp      312      0 my_server_ip.static.:http rate-limited-proxy-72:61249 CLOSE_WAIT
tcp      382      0 my_server_ip.static.:http b3090792.crawl.yahoo.:58663 CLOSE_WAIT
tcp      382      0 my_server_ip.static.:http b3090792.crawl.yahoo.:34655 CLOSE_WAIT
tcp      382      0 my_server_ip.static.:http b3090792.crawl.yahoo.:56681 CLOSE_WAIT
tcp      382      0 my_server_ip.static.:http b3090792.crawl.yahoo.:40829 CLOSE_WAIT
tcp      576      0 my_server_ip.static.:http b3090792.crawl.yahoo.:38278 CLOSE_WAIT
tcp       47      0 my_server_ip.static.:http 203.200.5.143.ill-bgl:49379 CLOSE_WAIT

If I look at the appache error_log, before the CLOSE_WAIT situation comes there are lines like the following

[warn] child process 15670 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM
[error] child process 15670 still did not exit, sending a SIGKILL
[notice] child pid 3511 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
