Thanks Rej; the traceroutes so far are showing that the switch the server is connected to *may* have a flaky port but it isn't conclusive. Ideally I'd like to try to capture something definitive over a period of sustained apparent dip in performance. If you note a period where the site doesn't seem to be responding quickly for more than a click or two, I'd appreciate a traceroute.
I have some other tools I can deploy but the trick is being available when we see an issue. When I get back to posting on CPF with my normal volume I'm sure I'll get to witness this!
Collecting really good data on this makes it easier to get a provider to do something. Plus there is always the chance that the connectivity is only a minor player in the effect, if at all.
We'll sort it out in the end I'm sure.
