I see the CPU max 99-100% when the problems occur. Good question about the 10mbps -- what are your guy's thoughts? As far as memory, I'm watching it in top and there is not any swapping going on and loads of extra memory.
1 correction - we're only running 1 server (taskset to one core), not 4 servers. I'll try to get the rcon status.
