Hello All,
 
I am having problems with some instances not receiving DCHPACK from my VM's 
dhcp server after extended periods of time. These instances are running heavy 
network, I/O, and RAM loads when the DHCPREQUEST does not receive a response. 
Note that this only happens to a handful of instances, not all instances 
running the exact same load. I have printed a relevant section of the syslog 
below.
 
My current environment is a multi-host flat dhcp network with nova-network 
running on each node. All servers and VM's are running Ubuntu 12.04 and using 
kvm/libvirt. I am also using large NFS servers to transfer big files to and 
from instances across the VM network. 
 
In the past, I used Eucalyptus and the same problem would occur. This tends to 
happen more frequently with more VMs and overall network load. 
 
If anyone has any ideas as to why the dhcp server stops responding to only a 
few instances occasionally please let me know.
 
 
Thanks,
 
Justin
