Just a side comment that has only been casually mentioned. Beber is a bonafide sysadmin. He's been maintaining our infra for a long time. We have a complex infra already in store. I think he uses "salt" (a puppet alternative) to manage our numerous servers, though I'm not sure. Help would always be appreciated, but it should go through him in order to avoid trouble. The problem here is not with server X, or server Y. The problem here is with the host node hosting our VMs. It is the one having issues. Maybe as raster implied later in this thread, it just needs to be updated.
