 I was able to consistently cause it to stop responding by initiating nmap
scans against a host behind it while it was in routing mode. I also
participate in pool.ntp.org <http://pool.ntp.org> - when my server was put
into dns and PPS rate was high, it stopped routing traffic. Telneting to th=
e
device and disabling iptables if I remember correctly would correct it. At
any rate the general consensus I found while trying to find a solution to
the problem about the device was poor.
 My solution was to take it out of the picture. I've had no problems since
then.
