Kris, Would this also apply to situations where nsd is still running, but stops responding? No zombies or anything, everything appears as normal except that all threads are frozen; nothing being sent out, and nothing being written to log files. We have one site which goes into this state on an unfortunately frequent basis (ie, every coupld of weeks), and I have been unable to figure out why. janine
