The scenario is this, the RS servers are connected to each other to communicate via network cards via a small lan.

1 server is the web server, other is the db server. the issue is for whatever reason, the interface on the db server side dies once in a while. the problem is quickly solved temperarily by re initializing the interface. in our case, via linux, ifdown eth1, ifup eth1.

the network card has been swapped and that didnt solve the problem.

a hardware diognostic has been run, and that didnt find any problems.

what other suggests as to why the network card interface would fail?

Im not that tech savy, and thus this baffles me as to whats causing the failure.
