It's been a while, but figured I'd follow up on the stability front:
The AppleShare IP 6.2 updates did not improve stability. Neither did stopping MRTG from polling SNMP (in hopes of limiting OT/SNMP memory leak, if that's the issue). I've gone so far as to completely disable all the OT/SNMP extensions at this point (so no possibility of an OT/SNMP memory leak), with no improvement.
At this point, I can only assume that it's actually an AppleShare IP issue. I have Sysmon pinging the box, sending an a packet to TCP port 548 (AFP), and loading each of the two web sites it hosts (http://buuto.makkintosshu.com/ & http://mausoleum.makkintosshu.com/) every minute for outage notification. Sysmon is likely very crude with its TCP test, so that may be a problem, but I'd assume that AppleShare IP's web server should be able to handle the load of two page loads per minute.
I'll probably need to reassess my Rebound! settings, but I'd also like significantly increase the amount of RAM (from the current 144MB). I may, at some point, give MacHTTP a go to see if that improves stability. I have a number of different WebStar install discs, but, alas, no serial numbers.
At least it takes care of itself, thanks to the Rebound!
Update: BTW - Anyone know of a simple, free uptime utility that'll run under Mac OS 8.6?
