To follow up, I stopped one script that was doing ldap stuff every couple of minutes. This started to reduce the number of "WAITING" sockets down to reasonable numbers (These typically climbed up into the 100s of sockets). Now I still see many connections that are in "WAIT" I think from pam or nss_switch stuff. So I'll communicate with those guys and see if there's a known issue.
