I just left an arpsend job running in cron every 5 minutes. I tried that too, called it "garpd" But it didn't really help and eventually I stopped doing it. I've also had something like this happen when the firewall (wrongly) had an alias that was the same as the IP of a virtual node. Yeah

Are you using the veth or vnet drivers? If it's vnet, I don't have a clue. I depend on IPv6 for a lot of things and vnet is not IPv6 veth Though it's IPv4, not 6. And it's very vanilla: static IPs in all VEs, no DHCP or SMB services at all. Often it's very transitive. Bridges tend to "st

It sounds like the switches they're attached to don't have the right arp information. Kinda what I thought, but why? Make sure proxy_arp is enabled, the sysctl is something like: net.ipv4.conf.eth1.proxy_arp = 1 Yep: net.ipv4.conf.lo.proxy_arp = 0 net.ipv4.conf.all.proxy_arp = 0 net.ipv4.co

Any ideas as to what could have caused this "outage" in the first place, and why sending a ping would have fixed it? I can supply some further info, which may be useful. * The bonding driver is in use, slaving eth0 and eth1 into bond0. * There are 2 switches. eth0 goes into one and eth1 into t

Well, guys, here's a weird one. I fixed it, but you won't believe how. I used "vzctl enter" to enter the VE, then "route -n" to see its gateway. Then ping the gateway, and it worked; skipped 1-2 pings, but the pings came back and the VEs were once again visible on the Internet. Weird, huh? T
