Greetings,
Our primary firewall failed in a very odd way it seems. The
ethernet card leading towards the our distribution switch did
not completely fail, rather it sort of .. Half .. Failed. This
caused the secondary firewall, and the primary to 'fight' over
the gateway IP's, and the switches downstream to go berserk,
being not able to keep up with the IP's continually moving
from one switch to another.
In any case - the issue is resolved, we will be replacing that
card, and demoting that firewall to a secondary.
There will be a couple seconds of lag at between 11:00PM and
12:00AM tonight when I put the carp back together.
Our apologies for any inconvenience this caused
Regards,
Dale

Probably an optimistic analysis by our server admin.. expect lag for a couple days, and if youre ranking in it, two rules.. 1) wimpy set 2) see if you cant find something that doesnt move. |
