Windows servers don't have this issue from what I have seen, but it happens quite often on Debian and maybe some other distros of Linux. The problem is that the Login Server will go down for an extended amount of time (over an hour or so), and the Emu server will try to connect to it for a while and then just seems to give up. I am not quite sure what causes it to stop trying to connect, but I have looked into it a few times and found nothing that stood out in the source.
Somehow, PEQ doesn't seem to have this issue and I know they run on Linux. So, maybe it is just the distro that they use that keeps it from happening. This is an issue I would love to get resolved and it is really the only advantage that a Windows server has over Linux at this time.
