change,
that might result in that the kernel is now choosing a different

to assign a different source IP to the outgoing packets.
Aha ! This was the problem. I'm curious as to why it decided to
change the default src IP though ... The server was rebooted
recently, and that's about it .. I'll have to dig more, but this
solves my problem for the moment. Thanks !
If that's the cause of your situatino, the "ip route get" command
might
give you some hints as to why that's happening. (I'm assuming you are
running Linux on that host.) See e.g.
http://linux-ip.net/html/tools-ip-route.html#tools-ip-route-get
for more info.
