I don't mind upgrading this box, it does need it, and it's just a web  
server.  But I see your point.

What bothers me is that suggesting an upgrade "may" fix the problem.   
I really want to know that upgrading WILL fix the problem.  I know it  
might not hurt, but if it doesn't address the primary issue at hand, I  
can spend time and resources trying to figure out why.  Regardless  
since this is just a mirror web server, I'm going to run it on box  
using 7.0 and see what I get.  I realize a lot of network code has  
changed from 4.x to 6.x (and maybe 7.x) so I'm going to give that a go.
