Anyway, I am using Gentoo for my host machine and also Gentoo as the guest os. The guest os runs Apache2 and MySQL and it works well for a while (5, 6 hours). After a while I am unable to connect to the guest os. From the host os, I can reach the guest os (ping, browse web page using links, etc), but not from outside the host os. If I go into the guest os using vserver myguest enter, the only fqdn i can ping is the one for the host os the is in my hosts file. No other fqdn's work. If I ping a known working ip address, everything starts working again! I have no idea what this means or how to fix it. As a temporary solution, just to keep my guest os working, I put a cron job that pings 2 different servers every half hour.
I think it's probably a routing problem, but I'm not sure what to do. My host has 2 gigabit nics, both on the same subnet.
Here is my ifconfig -a and route from my host os: (route hangs a while and then finally prints the output below)
