I recall having a "respawning too fast" problem several years ago.  I don't remember what caused it, but this might have been what I used to fix it--

From the inittab(5) man page:

     wait   The process will be started once when the specified runlevel  is
              entered and init will wait for its termination.

Try this change to /etc/inittab and see if it helps:

dx1:235:respawn:/bin/su -c "/usr/bin/perl -w /spider/perl/cluster.pl" sysop >/dev/null
wait
dx2:235:respawn:/bin/su -c "DXSPIDER_ROOT=/home/sysop2 /usr/bin/perl -w /home/sysop2/spider/perl/cluster.pl" sysop2 >/dev/null
