debugging is mainly about breaking down the system into components
whose correctness can be observed separately.

sounds a bit blackmagic to me.  I don't believe I've ever had a problem
solved by card reseating (though dimm reseating does seem to clean up
40% of of the nodes I see that are reporting a lot of corrected ecc's.)

simplify.  to me, it sounds like your network (ip, route, dns) is confused.
