What version are you running? If there is nothing in the logs, then
you can try straceing one of the threads to see if that reveals any
more info. Is it both UDP and TCP that stop responding? Did you try
tcpdumping on the interface to make sure you are receiving the
requests. You can also look at the stats:

/etc/init.d/pdns dump

The latency and q-size stats may be revealing.
