Does anyone know what a state of  FIN-wait-2  (on a NETSTAT command) is?

At times I've seen users having a problem getting to my ADSM/VM server
when there are many of these.  When I DROP a few everything is fine
again.  I've only witnessed this cause/effect once so it's not
conclusive.  However when I see more than 10 FIN-wait-e states I start
DROPing them.

Here is my console log:  (Ain't VM neat!)

netstat
