I wanted to check and see if there was something I was missing before reporting this as a bug. I checked the bug thread and there was nothing about it, so maybe someone here can point me in the right direction.

I have a DW20 1.6.4 server running on hard and we have a very low spawn rate. How low? I walked over 1000 blocks at night through 4 biomes and saw 1 skeleton and one tiny spider. We've been playing on this server for 4 days and no one has seen an enderman.

Is there a config that limits mob spawn, or is this a bug?

Here's the server.properties:
generator-settings=
op-permission-level=4
allow-nether=true
level-name=Republic of Texas
enable-query=false
allow-flight=true
server-port=25565
level-type=BIOMESOP
enable-rcon=false
force-gamemode=false
level-seed=
server-ip=192.168.1.14
max-build-height=256
spawn-npcs=true
white-list=true
spawn-animals=true
texture-pack=
snooper-enabled=true
hardcore=false
online-mode=true
pvp=false
difficulty=3
player-idle-timeout=0
gamemode=0
max-players=20
spawn-monsters=true
generate-structures=true
view-distance=10
spawn-protection=10
motd=You have entered the Republic of Texas. Play Nice\!
 
I have quite the opposite problem of way too many thing spawning around my little humble dirt hut.

Zombies banging on my door and spiders squealing on my roof are driving me nuts. Not to mention that freaky sound from the Ars Magika ghosts.
 
Did you by any chance start out the server on peaceful/easy settings and then later change it to hard? Experienced issues with that when I was on a 1.4.7 server. Despite it had been changed to normal, sometimes mobs just wouldn't spawn, other times it was fine. Never really found out what was causing it.
 
I've noticed this sometimes. Usually just restart the server and all is good again. Had this problem for a while with squid spawns. After a few updates it seemed to go away, now the waters are swarming with them.
 
I would try restarting the server, if that fails, backup the world folder and create a new server from scratch with your existing world.
 
Any chance you're using MCPC+? Apparently weird spawn behavior has been the quirk for it's latest version
 
Jeez 1.6 dw for me is almost beyond my control. Its actually harder to get end pearls now because their is so many garbage mobs spawning at night. I get rushed by 12 zombies often in open areas.

And although SS2 is crap, the ONE THING it was good for was Endermen. I'm actually considering cheating in a complete End Portal Frame for 5 Emerald Blocks, as between the idiotic zombie spawn buff and AM2 mobs Endermen (hell, even Endertots) may as well not exist.

On the topic of servers I've seen derpy spawns on servers since the days of 1.2.5. That and lack of at least one type of farm animal within 1k blocks.
 
your best shot is open areas for endermen... deserts, plains, wastelands etc... but then again you also see 10 skeletons and 15 zombies inbeteen you and it and the other 12 hecates are coming up behind you.
