But the ping times are normal. I'm having problems with the site |
| 40 |
intermittently hanging while I'm browsing, even as ping times are |
| 41 |
coming back normal. That's what makes me think it should be a problem |
| 42 |
with the software on the server. Does that sound right? |

curl sits there waiting for the IP to respond. |
