We do LVS-NAT. VIP on eth0, RIPs on eth1.

Our BB display server also makes connection attempts (to other servers) and
it never has a problem.

As it happens, my system logs were being parsed about the time my last
freeze happened. Unfortunately I didn't record the time previous pings got
hung, but 1) I don't believe it was concurrent with any other processing,
and 2) the system logs on this box are pretty small, and processing hardly
takes any cpu cycles. In fact, my director has never seen more than 5%
sustained load, and I've never seen more than a 10% spike whenever I've
checked.

Nothing much over a couple hundred KB/sec, and no spikes when my last ping
freeze occurred.

I *believe* BB spawns its pings in serial, but I'm not positive.

Thanks for the help, I'll look into seeing if I can find anything else that
occures at the same time as these glitches.
