hmmm, yes triples is probably a better reading. In which case things
might be ok, I just have to wait longer.

I don't exactly know when the DHCP when down, but a bunch of machines
lost their network connection. None of them got it back on their own
- if I assume their lease expired and the time triples then things may
be working as expected.

I still have one machine down, which is physically inaccessible this
weekend, so I can't restart it. I was wondering when it might come
back on its own. If the times triples, and I assume the dhcp stopped
24 hours ago, then in three days the machine might try again :-)
