Dropping packets??

[Mark Street]

My thought is that the virtual interface eth0:0 could be confusing your 
router, since the problem takes some time to manifest.  I believe Linux 
keeps track of MAC addresses tied to IP addresses, if the router gets a 
request from an IP it does not recognize it may become confused.

I forgot what type of router you were using.....  you might want to see 
what data you can extract from it also.

What does;   arp -a YOURHOSTNAME   and route -n  say?

Is there really a need for the virtual interface????
