That is exactly what was happening to us. However, we need ssh open (sftp) so I was forced to configure the firewall to only allow ssh to specific external IPs which is not an optimal solution.

That may help Tim but to have ram go bad in 3 Servers at once seems a little far fetched. We upgraded the ram in one of the servers a month or two ago but the other two servers have not had their ram touched.

I will give it a try anyway just to rule it out.

I am having the same issues with Server Admin. I have 3 10.4.11 servers doing it and it just started 2 days ago. It almost seems like anything that requires any sort of authentication is pausing (ftp, pop3, ssh). We have made no server changes and the only hardware in our entire network was we have swapped out a flaky switch 6 days ago. I have changed that switch for another just to rule it out as well. Webserving works well still. WebObjects apps are running as expected.

We have 2 network cards in each of the servers one for the public network and one for the private although the servers do not act as bridges. The public ip address of the servers correctly reverse dns map. The private ips do not map. It has been that way for years however with no problems.

Our problem is not happening all the time. It was an issue for about 8 hours the past 2 days but has been fine by the time I left work and was bad again when I returned. I have tried removing all the other computers from the private network but no change.
