Xml.resource.org is a CNAME for xml2rfc.ietf.org
Which in turn is a CNAME for zinfandel.tools.ietf.org
Which is one of the tools.ietf.org machines.
There evidently was a bad robot out there. Henrik posted this elsewhere this

A bot (at 183.53.230.35) which didn't honour robots.txt had managed to
get
almost all apache threads bound up in returning wiki diffs and change
lists, which are rather slow and resource-intensive pages. I flushed
those connections at 2016-03-21_10:25:38Z, and things look better after
that.
(An email directly to webmaster(_at_)tools(_dot_)ietf(_dot_)org will
get a faster response
than one to ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org, though ,:-)
Bad bot. Bad bot. Shame on you. Go sit in your corner.
