However, three times during the past few days, it has stop functioning. The
WAN connection dies and I can no longer ssh into the box. However, I can
still ping it, and I can still ssh from one LAN client to another via the
FreeBSD box.
disk I/O hangs while everything else works.
check with smartmontools if your disk report problems, if not - check
cables.
IOW, it seems to be dying, but not freezing, if that makes any sense. Alas,
there is nothing in /var/messages to indicate what happens. I don't think
because it can't write to disk.
it is succumbing to excessive load; it has a 1.6 MHz Pentium IV, 512 MB
RAM, rarely uses swap, and the load averages tend to be very light.
FreeBSD runs fine on pentium 90 with 16MB RAM (with slightly cutdown
kernel), without changes on 32.
