Google normally does not make many calls to the site at one moment. Are you sure your MySQL is set up properly? I have seen so many inefficient MySQL configurations... Some of them could not handle more than 20rq/s!

You can check Google crawl rate in the Webmaster's console. This is the first thing I would do. If I remember correctly, there was a place where you could lower the load. But you definitely must expect a higher request rate on days 1-3 after you added sitemaps. This is how it happens.

Same pages on two domains? This is not good for search. You should have a redirect from one domain to another. Otherwise neither of your sites will have good ranks. They will get penalized for duplicate content.
