I don't know if 2.5.1 is old enough to qualify for this issue, but it used to be the case that the entire set of disklists for a client had to fit in a single packet. What that meant is that if you had more than a few dozen disks on one client (depending on disklist options), you would run into this issue.
The solution is to upgrade, but a workaround is to create a second IP address and DNS name on the same physical client, and move some of the disklist entries to the latter. --Ian On Wednesday 05 November 2008 13:57:22 Dustin J.
