Thanks Alan and Jeff.
I think it's becoming clear to me that IHS must be the culprit here. 
It's talking to everything fine until something makes it stop doing that and 
screwing up the handshake.
What that trigger is we don't know.  We did find one occurrence that overlapped 
with vulnerability port scanning, but they've suspended that for now.
The sniffer traces show no other unsuspected IP addresses coming in (so they 
say).
I'll circle back with our WAS guy and makes sure this gets in the PMR.

I still want to know what those errors are though! :)
Anyone?

Marcy

I think the external sniffers will have to collect several hours worth of 
rolling data, and when the app detects an error, stop the data collection. 
 You should give you plenty of time to stop data collection without losing any 
data and without trying to hold two weeks' worth of packet traces.

I was pleased to hear from Jeff that Wireshark could use a copy of the server 
certificate to decode the data stream.  One of these days I'll have to test 
that out!
