Up until last week, it had a 370+ day uptime, no problems whatsoever. Since last week, I have had problems with our upstream provider -- the link has gone down several times. The problem is that when the link goes down, within five or ten minutes the router's network services become unreponsive. I can't SSH in, can't ping, the DHCP and interal DNS services are non-repsonsive - nothing. Not only does is not route, it does not communicate with any hosts on the LAN. Is it trying to reverse DNS via the default route and freezing there? Does anyone have any idea what might be going on?
