The above error messages indicate that the connection between Doppler
and Reflect was broken by an outside force rather than by the LDMs
themselves at the point where the client/server relationship was turned
around (initially, Doppler is the client and Reflect the server; this
relationship is reversed in order to send data).  I suspect a firewall
issue whereby packets from Doppler to Reflect are allowed to pass but
that packets from Reflect to Doppler are not.  This hypothesis is also
consistent with your observation that they used to work together until
just recently.

Support for this hypothesis might be obtained by executing client
software on Reflect that connects to server software on Doppler (e.g.,
try to ssh(1) or telnet into Doppler from Reflect).

Please let me know what you discover.
