Hello,

we think, that the problem is the load-balancer (Cisco ACE). Most of the 
traffic on the servers goes through  it. Sniffing showed some strange 
RST-Tcp-Packets.
We found some way to solve this problem. It is not the most beautiful 
solution, but it works for now.
We used a script in /etc/rc2.d/ with following lines:
nbd-client -d /dev/nbd0
nbd-client <IP-Address> 2000 /dev/nbd0 -persist

I deconnects the nbd-client and connects it again with "persist" option.

Is there any reason, why the option "persist" isn't used by default? For 
me the connection seems to be robuster then without it.

Is there a clean way to change the parameters of the default nbd-connection?


Thanks for help!

Wojtek
