Comment 6 for bug 997978

It took a few days, but we've finally had a failure of VM instance 2. It died 2.5 hours ago. Logging into the dom0 host shows the arp table dead for that host:

mailer02.xxxx.com (incomplete) br0

Logging into the machine itself via console:

Restarting the network on the vm (/etc/init.d/networking restart) does nothing. Rebooting the VM brings it back to life.

I'm happy to try with the container again, but using the instructions provided (even with some additional research online), I can't get it running. Please advise.

Thanks.
