Uploads to hosts other then 2000 being hit by my app via webservices
run flawlessly to completion. I really don't think it is my routing
equipment- I've completely rebuilt the whole network infrastructure
several times in the 4 years that I've had this problem, have moved to
different colo facilities, and several other network related factors
and still have seen this problem.

It's very challenging for me to upgrade the kernel as this is a
production system and I need to run on whatever the latest RedHat
supports for support contract reasons. I probably could do it if
there are specific fixes that there is reason to believe will make my
problem go away.
