I will certainly keep an eye on the system. I was/am constantly monitoring them anyway, and nothing looked out of the ordinary. Several people have responded to my post and other than the NMBCLUSTERS hint (which really shouldn't be an issue here I think) they all seem to point to a buggy tl driver and it looks like I am forced to figure out how to install new NIC's in servers that are in another country.
