It took a few days, but we've finally had a failure of VM instance 2.
It died 2.5 hours ago. Logging into the dom0 host shows the arp table
dead for that host:
mailer02.xxxx.com (incomplete)
br0
Logging into the machine itself via console:
root:~# ifconfig

Restarting the network on the vm (/etc/init.d/networking restart) does
nothing. Rebooting the VM brings it back to life.
I'm happy to try with the container again, but using the instructions
provided (even with some additional research online), I can't get it
running. Please advise.
Thanks.

Problem:
------------
Periodically (at least once a day), one or more of the guests lose network connectivity. Ping responds with 'host unreachable', even from the dom host. Logging in via the serial console shows no problems: eth0 is up, can ping the local host, but no outside connectivity. Restart the network (/etc/init.d/networking restart) does nothing. Reboot the machine and it comes alive again.
I've verified there's no arp games going on on the primary host (the
arp tables remain the same before - when it had connectivity - and
after - when it doesn't.
This is a critical issue affecting production services on the latest
LTS release of Ubuntu. It's similar to an issue which was 'resolved'
in 10.04 but appears to have risen its ugly head again.
