random nrpe socket timeout

[mariog at absi.be]

hello
i have troubles in our infrastructure with nrpe giving critical alerts 
when the nrpe socket timeout. 
this happens randomly from time to time in several servers. 
i really have no clue what is the cause, the service is up between two 
minutes, but the alerts causes sms to be sent for 'falses alarms' as there 
is nothing wrong with the servers just the nrpe plugin that for a few 
instants cannot contact the server. 
is there a way to troubleshoot this? which side should it be 
troubleshooted? server side or client side. 
nagios.log doesn't give many info: just : 
disk_root;CRITICAL;notify-by-email;CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 
seconds.

of course sms are not free and we want to find a way to avoid this? is 
this a network problem? and not linked with nrpe? 

nrpe runs already in debug mode. 

thank you in advance 

Mario G.
