<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I don’t see any errors in the logs, nor any loss of
connectivity that the graphs are implying. I can ping continuously with no loss
between the slave/master and between the slave and the targets during the blank
periods on the graphs. The logs show every 9-10 minutes the “Data
Sent, server said OK” message from the slave. The Master is also
slated to be moved to a VMware image, but I’m holding off until I
understand this issue. The extra “smoke” is also a concern as
the continuous pings don’t show this variation in latency.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
