The NIC, eth0, was the culprit. I kept getting intermittent network connection failures on that interface, and I thought it was due to misconfigured drivers.

I even reconfigured the NICs, and had them take on DHCP addresses from the DHCP server. That was when eth0 started barfing.

So now I placed eth1 on the DMZ, and got it to connect to the other public servers and to the internet. It’s currently downloading headers through yum.

Hopefully, I can get *at least* LDAP running on it by the end of the day. If I can ssh to it tonight, maybe I’ll try installing Jabber on it, too.

That’s the easy part. I have yet to figure out how to replicate Active Directory for LDAP authentication of network services.
