Is your customer by any chance using NAT on the pipeline? If so, he
might want to upgrade to 6.0.9/6.0.10, which fixes a nasty problem with
NAT which (IMHO) produces the exact result you are seeing. Basically NAT
resources aren't freed on the pipeline when they should be (napt in
diag mode would show you a long list of allocated resources) and during
heavy use a pipeline will simply "lose" all available NAT resources.
Apart from a reboot other measures might free the NAT table, like change
of Ethernet address or a 24 hour pause after which used NAT handles
expire. In case your customer is not running NAT, just forget what
I wrote... :)
