Those dates are indeed very old... last build date is 10-7-2012 , last modified is 3-8-2012 Looking at the task schedule, it shows "SKIPPED" since 10-7-2012 So that looks like my main problem indeed... looking at the taskomatic daemon log I see Java heap space OutOfMemory errors... I've increased Xms and Xmx in /usr/share/rhn/config-defaults/rhn_taskomatic_daemon.conf and now it works again. I have little over 10K packages in the channel that fails, which seems reasonable.

No, the machines are on the same VLAN, with nothing but a switch between them. Thanks for the help so far.
