I run a total of 11 Servers: All names start with {MC} Paradises .... Server
5 CS 1.6 Servers
1 CS:Source
1 Dystopia
1 Garry's Mod 9
1 DOD:Source
2 HLTV (HL1) servers
I also occasionally have this problem, there is no pattern. They just loose
VAC intermittently. Most of the servers are running on Windows 2003 Server
(SP1) and 2 of them are on XP Pro (SP2) fully patched and updated. The HLDS
configurations are fairly similar across all of them. Configs available upon
request.
A restart with HLSW or restarting the service usually fixes this. I check
the status every half hour or so during the day and restart them as needed.
It is getting very annoying.
Also, if you change sv_lan 1 then back to sv_lan 0 that will reestablish VAC
without a restart...
I would be glad to send you any logs or any other data you require to help
figure this out.

I don't believe a traceroute would provide any useful info (you actually
connect too a pool of backend servers, the exact one depends on your
location and system load). I will email you offlist with a couple specific
debugging things you could do.
