To follow up on this: Noticed the issue again this morning, which also was accompanied by latency so high that I could not connect (some pings got through at very high latency). I emailed the provider and they told me that they had my port on their Ether switch set to 10Mbs. They switched it to 100Mbs and only time will tell if that fixes it. Does this sound like it could be the entire cause? I ask because I've maxed out pipes before, but never seen it shut all traffic down this much. One key difference that I forgot to mention is that this server is running TWO instances of named, on two different IPs (for different domains), each running a few hundred zones. Bottom line: Would congestion cause this issue, or would this issue cause congestion? Thanks again! James Smallacombe PlantageNet, Inc.
