Can you imagine 100 users attempting (and failing) to get connection
every 2 milliseconds would just drop all the server :-)

Actually, I've spend an hour checking for error 10061 in the Internet
and in this mail list archives. Everyone was pointing to "dll problems
in windows", reinstalling operating system etc.

My short recommendation is to check if the connection is not being
dropped by the connection pool just too soon.
May save someone else an hour of troubleshooting...

This is an interesting question.
1st, I don't know if there is better loggin to set (I can't afford
higher log level in production servers).
To improve, IMHO, the jdbc pool tooling would standardize parameters,
because some are defined in seconds, others in milliseconds.
When I did set the maxWait="2", I thought it was "2 seconds". After
re-reading documentation, I realized it was in milliseconds. In the
referred documentation, another parameter next is set in seconds. So,
this is the cause of the confusion.

Anyway, I hope this advice save someone else time.

Edson
