We've had a problem with our web server twice in the last month. Suddenly the machine stops responding to remote access (http, ssh, ftp, even ping). In order to solve the problem, we logged on to the console and rebooted the server.
/var/log/messages shows a lot of lines like these: kernel: dst cache overflow Doing some research on google I found that this problem somewhat relates to a routing cache table filling up (whatever that means). Someone suggested issuing a "ip route flush cache" regularly via crond, to avoid the routing table filling up. Our system: RH 7.0, kernel 2.2.19 (we upgraded to this kernel just a week ago, we were running 2.2.16 when the server stopped responding) apache-1.3.12-25 Oracle 8.1.7 JRun 3.1 Apache receives around 100,000 requests a day. Any suggestions will be highly appreciated. Saul _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
