    I recently built two machines running FreeBSD 5.2.1 for the purposes of
    running three services - DNS, NIS (slave server), and NFS (minor amount
    of data, but a reasonable amount of connections).

    Both machines would lock up (unpingable, nothing to be done except reset
    switch) after a period of time - sometimes a few days, sometimes a few
    hours. I tried new hardware, and even rebuilt them both on new hard
    drives on new machines, still with the same issue. These two machines
    did the previously mentioned services for only about 150 hosts.

    I switched them to 4.9, and they've been rock solid. I used GENERIC
    kernel, and was running -RELEASE's on all incantations.

    Seems like a bug somewhere, but I don't know where exactly, but if I can
    help track it down, I'd be glad to do what I can.
