Hi Pete, I found the reason for the non-communications. When the olbd gets itself in the state where the server it has just selected has just gone down and no alternatives are available, it leaves a critical lock locked. This causes the system to essentially stop outbound communications. Most inbound communications can still be handled. All of the servers notice this and try to re-establish communications, which they do only to find that the olbd refuses to speak to them. Anyway, I will have a fix and that should generate a new release. We can restart the redirectors, at least.
