I am using gmond 3.1.2 on a Solaris 10 SPARC cluster

After some time, it seems that gmond just becomes deaf.

I can connect to the gmond TCP port (8649) and get the XML, but all the metrics 
are expired (TN > TMAX). All the values for TN are aproximately the same for 
all metrics, including metrics from other hosts in the same cluster.  My 
conclusion is that gmond is not listening anymore for metrics on the multicast 
channel, it just ignores any broadcasted metrics. In a single word, it is deaf 
on the multicast channel.

I can connect to another gmond node for some time and get the metrics, but 
eventually, it also has the same symptoms. (TN > TMAX for all metrics, 
including other nodes of the same cluster). Eventually all my nodes are no 
longer receiving any metrics. All of them report the metrics as expired (TN > 
TMAX)

Does anyone has experienced the same problem?
Any suggestions, solutions?

In addition to the standard metrics, my application broadcast its own specific 
metrics (like #requests/minute, % JVM free memory, amont others) using the same 
XDR protocol instead of calling gmetric. (In other words, I "embedded" gmetric 
into my application). Would this affect gmond ? (Of course, my app does not 
broadcast the standard metrics)

After gmond becomes deaf (on the multicast channel), Ganglia Web reports my 
cluster as being "down".
