Anybody know what causes a "stack connect failure" error? I have a bunch of
stuff stuck in my SMTP que. Ideas?

I use a great program called Server's Alive.
http://www.woodstone.nu/
Free for the limited version (up to 10 services I believe). It will
check the status of any service at any interval you choose, try to
access a URL, and any number of other cool things then will do any
number of other cool things if a service is down, including e-mailing
you (you can specify a backup SMTP server to use if that's what's
down), restarting the service, rebooting the machine, etc. I searched
and found that when I noticed Bind was hanging a couple times, even
though it said the service was running. I also created a dummy domain
in my DNS. Every 2 or 3 minutes I have it check a ColdFusion page
under that domain. If it can't access it, then either Bind,
ColdFusion or O'Reilly's is down. It restarts Bind than e-mails me. :)
Here's a link to the status of my server.

In response to the original thread. Never a problem.
And for anyone running ColdFusion, there's a great CFX tag
(cfx_servicecontrol) that you can install and go in and stop/restart
any service with your browser. I have it setup (under a password
protected directory) so I can kill pcA if I get dropped. I also kill
Bind and restart it when I do updates to my DNS so I don't have to
login with pcA to do it.
