    It might be caused by a routing loop, causing the packets to 'run around in circles' (send from router to router and end up at the same router) until they die...

    most likely split horizon problem or holddown timer perhaps? Used to prevent these loops from happening

    because you get around split horizon with the ping command. Im thinking maybe its routing loop, or just because the page is down, it searches or "pings" . And since there is no holddown or anything prevent it it will continue to go. Thats just my 2 cents
    I am going for broke, and i love every minute of it.
