10.5 Server intermittent connectivity issues

I have a xserve 10.5 server that is having intermittent connectivity issues. This seemed to have started right after we had a few PCs with viruses that where flooding the server with spam. While troubleshooting this issue i removed the mail queues (active, defer, deferred, incoming) manually (I know this was wrong now, should have used the postix commands) by rm- R and re creating with proper permissions and ownership. I know this was a mistake now and have fixed the permission issues, or at least i think i did by using the actual postix command to repair permissions. But this is just background info.

Now the server drops every 10min and is down for 6min, this repeats, almost could set your watch to it. When i say drop, no one can access their mail, the website is down, i can’t ARD in, but if i am already ARDed in i can move around for a few min before the finder freezes. But everything does come back in 6min.

I have been searching for a week and am stumped, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a snip of the system.log a little before a freeze and a little after a freeze.

I’ve searched the servermgr lines but couldn’t find much on it, they are suspicious to me but can not be sure.

Let me know what you need, if anything to help with this issue.

Thanks for the help,

Derrick
