These are mission-critical boxes, and I catch a lot of flak for any downtime. Are there any ideas what might be causing this? There's plenty of unused memory (128mb total), and swap is always 100% free. The boxes are running snort_inline, squid, and ipfw with dynamic rules. The errors tend to occur when there's no load at all on the boxes, such as when everyone has gone home for the night. Thanks!
