We've be running FreeBSD 7.x for a couple of years on ESXi 4.0 and 4.1 with no
problems.
We're having tcp/ip failures with 8.2 as syslog-ng server. trafshow shows
aggregate port 514 traffic hitting peaks of about 25K char/sec.
After sometimes many hours of the syslog-ng VM server running well,
monit from other machines signals port 514 is down, up, down, up.
this is confirmed by other machines with
nmap a.b.c.d -p 514 -sU
... showing closed, open, closed, etc.
syslog-ng logging for all syslog clients stops more or less simultaneously.
trafshow filtered for port 514 shows udp packets arriving, but instead of
showing the source and destinations by PTR domain name, it switches to showing
their IPs.
to test the external DNS, on the syslog-ng VM, we try
dig @recursive.server -x a.b.c.d
and get no response. Other machines query the recursive server successfully.
Without rebooting the FreeBSD VM, we do
/etc/rc.d/netif restart
/etc/rc.d/routing restart
which allows full operation.
dmesg and messages show no errors.
Suggestions?
