but at least we/you know that its down. you say the latest problem was because iptables did something odd, if you were actively monitoring the network availability of the server you would have easily seen that something was up and be on your way to fixing it before any of your customers noticed. (hint: we use a freeware app called "the dude" to monitor our internal servers at work)
instead you seen to have a policy of "everything is working fine until we actually fix the problem, then we can try say its the customer's fault. must be their internet connection or something. oh wait, something did break but we don't know why"
i'm now also quite concerned that you have ordered "a new nas system" thats "highly redundant". surely if you have a file system corruption problem, making that redundant isnt going to fix it. you'll just have redundant copies of corrupt data!!! (and a slow redundant copy if its on a nas as opposed to a fibre channel).
I also get the impression that the nas will hold data from multiple
VPS Hosting nodes (i really hope i'm wrong on that) which i find very alarming from a reliability and performance point of view
