This was disturbing to read, however we currently serve about 25 virtual domains and a single FreeBSD (2.1.0R) box (Pentium 133, 64 Meg, couple of SCSI drives) without having encountered this problem. The server has pumped about 300-400k of continuous traffic for days at a time and been okay. Is it possible this problem is related to something else happening on the system?
