I've gotten this message twice today.

It’s an intentional redirect message when basically there are too many connections to the site. Once the load comes back down you won’t see it again.

It is very recent, this message did not come up before. Is the site under frequent denial of service attacks?

No. Mita is managing the number of connections and when it hits a certain number / percentage of capacity he sets a timeout. Standard error message handling on steroids basically. The number of connections can increase with web scrapers and search bots, etc.
