OK I see, I had thought that your whole system locked up for
20-30 seconds but it was only the external network responses
that stopped.

I think the problem is your switch. It appears to purge our
port entry when it receives our general query.

So to work around this, I suggest that you disable the startup
queries through the parameter multicast_startup_query_count.
You can do this either through sysfs or a sufficiently recent
brctl command.

BTW, what brand/model is your switch? If this problem is common
enough then we may have to disable general queries by default.

Cheers,
