[Dovecot] TIMO HELP! director ring wont stay connected

I've had 2x director ring up and running with production load on 2.1.8 
with around 10,000 active connections for two weeks and everything has 
been working great - until this morning.

There isn't anything obvious in the logs beyond the fact that the 
director connections started bouncing.  It was not resolved by reloads 
or restarts or an upgrade to 2.1.9 (only the directors.)

I've dropped one of the servers out of the ring to prevent suffering but 
this is a less than ideal situation.

Any idea what is going on?  Load today is consistent with low weekend 
load since it is a major US holiday so this wouldn't appear to be a load 
related issue.
