I'm having an ongoing problem with one of our servers. This box is a 500MHz 
Athlon with 512Megs ram Running -Current from friday. Anyway one of the 
interfaces (ep0) just freezes under heavy traffic. The nic works fine for 
weeks under medium load. The logs don't show any particular error (except 
network down) and bringing the nic down and back up cures the problem for a 
short time. I have tried several cards and they all do the same thiing. The 
box seems to be runing out of resources. I really need to cure this problem 
and any pointers would be appreciated. This problem has been going on for 
months, so I don't suspect a problem with -current.

ifconfig shows the following:
ep0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	inet 24.237.XX.XXnetmask 0xfffff000 broadcast 24.237.XX.XX
	inet6 fe80::260:8ff:fe03:d506%ep0 prefixlen 64 tentative scopeid 0x4
	ether 00:60:08:03:d5:06
	media: Ethernet 10baseT/UTP

TIA,

Beech
