We have a bank of static IPs we purchased from Comcast, and we have been dealing with loss of access for a long time and applying all sorts of bandaids, from new routers to having a tech come in to resetting equipment. Access is a problem with all protocols -- http, https, ssh, sftp, tcp -- and the failure is a timeout. There is apparently some routing algorithm being used that gets lost somehow, through all configurations of equipment we have. All eight servers are affected. Just those IPs, and just internally, and just intermittently. Aggravating. So until it gets solved, we need to have a workaround for, in this particular case, http, since we have a workaround for ssh/sftp.

We use both IPs and the domain/URL. All are affected. The machines attempting to access it are Mac OS X, Windows and Linux, several of each, and they all encounter the same timeout. The "hairpin" through the other server works fine for ssh and sftp, but not http for our graphic apps.
