Hi,

(ping, ssh, http, anything ..)
>However, talking to it from another server on the local subnet works
fine.

IP address after nobody talked to it for a while

I'm experiencing the exact same problem .. inserting "pings" into crontab mostly fixes it, but occasionally it still gets lost.

Has anyone else seen anything like this or can anyone point me in the right direction?

Gareth.
