 The backend machine is a combined FE/BE.  I also use a remote FE.  The
remote FE is connected through a linksys 8 port router.  However, from the
timestamps in the log (and my monit.log) I see many crashes occurring in the
middle of the night, when the remote FE is off and the local FE is not in
use.

I don't recall any network slowness/flakyness, but I don't have any data to
back that up.  Is there a quick or easy way to check for this that you
recommend?  Would something like ethereal be useful to diagnose this-

Thanks,
Steve
