Date: 20 May 1997 13:15:37 GMT Organization: Florida Internet Corporation Lines: 25 Message-ID: <01bc6520$798d6640$ca180ed0@default> NNTP-Posting-Host: pm11-10.flinet.com X-Newsreader: Microsoft Internet News 4.70.1155 Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:41407 ---The Problem: I run a FreeBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE still with its (GENERIC) settting. It seem that every 1 or 2 days, the machine WIGS out, freezes of sorts. I can TELNET to the computer via its primary IP address but all other aliased interfaces (Virtual Domain/Web Sites), SMTP (Mail Requests), FTP, etc. Will not function for 2-5 minutes and then almost like a miracle, it back better then ever! ---What research has been done: When TELNET'ed into the box while this problem was happening, I tried different checks on the system. I found that the OUTGOING mail which was still in the mail que (qmail) was still being sent out by the machine without a problem. Tried –HUP 'ing the web host (APACHE) (FTP) and other processes to no availe. Which leads me to believe that it was not a process problem. It must be a TCP/IP aliased interface problem of some sorts. MAYBE… a buffer gets FULL and them after (X number of minutes) dumps allowing the system to function properly once again? Any help would be appercieated! Joseph (webmaster@global-impact.com)
