Hello,

Do the machines in question happen to be Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
boxes with rhn-virtualization-host installed and
/etc/cron.d/rhn-virtualization.cron enabled?  If so, you may be running
into:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=546676

Otherwise, you are correct, 60 minutes is NOT abusive as defined by the
server-side configuration.  So if its not the bug above, and your
configuration is 60 minutes, then there is something else that must be
reaching out to RHN Hosted on a frequent basis that needs to be found.

Thanks.
Brandon
