Just sounds like an intermittent connection to me. Could it even be
just a local network issue to you? Otherwise it could be any of the
networking connecting to the net or even a DoS attack to another server
in the same Co-Lo that you share a switch with.
Try doing a traceroute and a load of pings to the server from a number
of places. If you want to send me the server address offline then I'll
do a few from a couple of places here if you like?
