The reason I sent logs to both the CMA and
the standalone log server is because I give
the customer access to the standalone log 
server to view the log, customers do not have
access to the CMA or provider-1.

the nokia has 1GB of ram and over the past
six months, cpu utilization is average at
50% idle and memory utilization is at 600MB
of free memory.  "netstat -I ethx 8" show
no errors whatsoever.

If you read my previous, I did one step better
than stop the checkpoint process, I rebooted
both Nokia boxes, repush the policy but still
same issue.

If this is a bug, it is surely a nasty one.

Do the hard work. Export logs for a single day from all of them (both of 
the VRRP gateways, the CMA and the other log server).

Then sit down and compare them to see if you have duplicate logs or 
complementing logs. That is surely a time consuming business.

The logical step to me would be to eliminate the second log server as 
having 2 log servers is twice the workload for the gateways.

And with a normal VRRP setup I would expect that one gateway is handling 
the traffic and thus only of of them should should have something 
interesting to log. The other should be near empty.

What does `vmstat 10 10` show you exactly? You may be overloading the 
units. Also check `netstat -ni` output for any errors.

Since this is all new to us we start again with doing the 101 checks to 
make sure you are not chasing ghosts. I have seen too many people step 
over network errors and trying to find a cmomplicated problem when the 
cause was there in their face all the time.

Ever read the newspaper by the light of collision led? That sure can not 
be the cause of applications timing out everyone one assured me. It 
must be something complicated like a bug. Right. ;-)

The bit which you may not like is that you may need to stop and start the 
Check Point processes to make sure the changes are properly executed. A 
rulebase install might not be enough to get rid of the secondary log 
server for example.
