Pretty important to make sure you don't have rules at your server or host blocking/limiting CloudFlare requests (.htacess, firewall rules, iptables,etc.). The message only appears when (a) server is actually having issues, or (b) there are rules at the server or host stopping our connection requests. More details here: http://www.cloudflare.com/wiki/I_keep_se...Offline%22
There are also some tips on CloudFlare and forums that I would strongly recommend reading.
