    Hello,
I have two Redhat AS3 servers. One of them (among other things) serves NFS
file systems to my other systems including to the other server. When my NFS
file server goes down or is restarted the load on the other AS3 server
increases to the point it is completely useless (it goes to 50+ in a minute
or two). I never observed this behavior when I was serving NFS file systems
using a Solaris system.

Has anyone observed this phenomenon?  Any solution to it?

Sincerely,

   - Henrik
