We created a patched version in the end and rolled to one server

We have now had 2 more failures of the tcp listener on 2 seperate
servers in the last week, a simple reload of the software fixes
So this is with the patched servers?
Yes
this. the thing I have noticed when this occurs is that when
telnetting to the port you can then type in anything and try and
escape, etc but the connection never closes, whereas on a working
server the session will close after a short while of typing and
pressing Enter.
The logs do not show anything or give any pointers as to the cause...
Please remind us of your operating system, RHEL4 I think? Or 5? Is there
anything special about your workload? Residential internet connections I
think?
Debian Etchnhalf and Lenny.
Just run of the mill DSL connection DNS requests.
How many TCP/IP queries do you see per second, roughly? A quick run of
rec_control should dig this up.
date;rec_control get tcp-questions

79371
date;rec_control get tcp-questions
Tue May 4 17:35:53 BST 2010
79924
Gives us rough stats from a short period of 6 tcp requests per second
per server, theres 8 servers.
