Is XOSoft in the mix with you as well?

I have sent more Perfmon and Poolmon dumps to MSFT for them to analyze.

I accidentally hit send before I was done.
I was also going to note the problem happened again this weekend, this
time with out running the XOSoft software. So this further leads me to
believe there is a resource issue with the cluster, and that the
replication software just brought it to light.
If MSFT finds anything, I will re-post it here.

Netsh int ip set chimney DISABLED
Try this and let me know if it works for you.

What does that do?
BTW MSFT PSS support claims the non-paged pool memory on the server
was used too much, and that's why the Cluster Resource manager marked
the HTTP virtual server offline. The claim the top three culprits were
STORPORT.SYS, EXIFS.SYS, and the Symantec file system antivurs the
customer has installed.
Current plan of action is to upgrade STORPORT.SYS to this version
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935561, and to update Symantec's
antivirus software to the latest version (I threw out the suggestion
of removing it all together since it is barely scanning anything with
all the file system exclusions for Windows and Exchange).
They said the replication software we were using was not at fault, but
it just asked the system to do more which caused the STORPORT.SYS file
to grab more memory.
I am crossing my fingers.
