The error may be caused because IIS on your server can limit the number of concurrent user connections to 10. It can also keep the
connections made (through Web requests) alive for 15 minutes by default.
This behaviour is designed to conserve/reuse resources, but it
seems that every Web request is regarded as a connection by a different
user - so you soon run out of resources.

Please take a look at the following KB articles explaining this and the solution:
Error Message: HTTP 403.9 - Access Forbidden: Too many users are connected
How to optimize Web server performance in Windows 2000

The keep-alives can be disabled through IIS admin interface. I hope this resolves your problem.
