It is my understanding that FIN_WAIT_2 happens on the client side after the client does an active close but before the server does a close. If the server process died I'd expect the OS to send a FIN back to the client, so perhaps you have child processes that never died off from the previous generation? On that theory, you would have 177 connections in CLOSE_WAIT on the server. -aaron
