In my case, I move jails around between machines for load balancing reasons ... so, a physical server may be up for, hell, in one case, 211 days, but a vServer may only have been on it a few days ... The other funny thing about the current em driver is that if you move an IP to it from a different server, the appropriate ARP packets aren't sent out to redirect the IP traffic .. recently, someone pointed me to arping, which has solved my problem *external* to the driver ... I have a third machine that uses an em driver, but its an older 4.x kernel, and it operates perfectly ... no timeouts/hangs and sends out the appropriate ARP packet ... all three servers are connected to the same Cisco switch, with all ports configured identically, so it isn't a switch issue, as someone else intimated ... ---- Marc G.
