Thank you, Paul.  This makes sense, considering the fact that this is on
some really old RHEL boxes. I, like you, can't easily upgrade them while
they're in production.  I suppose that if the cluster (via Coyote Point) is
working ok, then traffic should be diverted to other boxes for the duration
of the bounce.

(fingers crossed!)
