The Problem still persists, but the Answers have almost all been
a "the Bridges can't handle the concentrated Load", while the
exact Mechanism seems to depend on what Brand of Bridges it is.
I'm currently waiting to get my Fingers onto a LAN Tester to get
that confirmed. Since I don't think we'll get better Bridges all too
soon, the short-Term Solution will be booting off a small HD while
the mid-Term Solution is that he'll get his own Cluster real_soon_now
(tm).
