In addition, there's the routing table size issue - I had an NTP server that erroneously got Path MTU Discovery turned on. Debugging routing table problems is.. um... interesting... when you have 4,000+ static host routes (nothing like watching the DNS burp because you said 'netstat -r' rather than '-r -n' ;)
