Thanks again for your help with this.I've run 500 pings (-c 500 -i 0) in both directions, and got zero loss.Ill try running tcpdump on both servers, and re-testing to check the segments.Swapping the servers would be extremely difficult ;) (They are over 1000k's apart, and one is in an unmanned(majority of the time) data centre.> From: mtzguido@gmail.com
