I appreciate all the help that I received and special Thanks to Steve Arnett who recommended changing the MTU to 1492 and it fixed the problem. I would have never considered this as an issue as the Flex Machine is still running with MTU=1500.
I notice that your maximum block size(MTU) for the interface is 1500 bytes. Our settings have them at 1492 and that is what I have seen in most places. I have run into issues in the past (mostly with FTP) where this setting can cause intermittent issues...The issues only occur when a block size of greater than 1492 is sent and one of the routers along the way does not support ethernet packets greater than 1492. BEGINRoutes ROUTE 63.243.3.0 255.255.255.0 = ETH1 MTU *1500* ROUTE DEFAULT 63.243.3.129 ETH1 MTU *1500* ENDRoutes Here is an example of our routing statements. BEGINROUTES ROUTE 10.2.0.254/32 = ETH1 MTU 1492 ROUTE DEFAULT 010.002.000.254 ETH1 MTU 1492 ENDROUTES Thanks again!!!
