Well, guys, here's a weird one. I fixed it, but you won't believe how.
I used "vzctl enter" to enter the VE, then "route -n" to see its
gateway. Then ping the gateway, and it worked; skipped 1-2 pings, but
the pings came back and the VEs were once again visible on the Internet.
Weird, huh?
Thing is, I did them one at a time (after the first one, which I was
surprised worked) and it's definitely causative here. I sit there
pinging from my PC and from our monitoring server, and nothing nothing
nothing; then the instant I send 1 ping to the gateway from within the
VPS, it comes up. Four VEs in a row did this.
Any ideas as to what could have caused this "outage" in the first place,
and why sending a ping would have fixed it?
