the entire box freezes, snmp stops responding, i monitor the box from 
the outside world with cacti via pings and the graphs show that the ip 
was unpingable for the duration of the outage until a reboot. i also 
console in and the keyboard is unresponsive.

this has been covered before. to jump in on this issue at this stage is 
going to require a lot of reading to catch up and get up to speed.
