What should I do to resovle the flush-hosts problem?
If it's hardware
we need, then it's hardware we shall have. Is the problem solvable by

I've no idea what exactly triggers the connection errors, but increasing
the max_connect_errors (whice I've just done) should keep it from
blocking future access.
I'm ready to throw some money at this thing again.

I'd highly recommend a second database server, which would feed off the
main one using MySQL's replication feature.
* It could run searches and nonessential but nice special pages; or
perhaps simply round-robin load sharing
* If the main server crashes again, the wiki can fall back to the second
server instead of being inaccessible.
