You sent something to the list several weeks ago regarding this I believe.
And in the "show netstat" output you sent, there were a number of ether0
interface resets. This normally would be because of a saturated ethernet
or PM, although hopefully a switch'ed port would alleviate this. Have you
opened a ticket with support on this issue? I think at this point in
time, that would be the best thing to do.
