This *could* be the result of a SYN-flood attack on your server.

The Wikipedia page mentions some countermeasures (if it indeed is an 
attack and not a networking stack issue).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SYN_flood

Maybe you could check from which IP addresses these SYNs come from and 
investigate why they do not answer to the SYN-ACK request of your 
server.


Cheers,
