[cod] CoD4 Server strange lag/data loss?

[Martin H]

Ok, this is really odd. Our CoD server is playing up. For some reason, a lot
of players have started timing out while connecting. And theres a lot of
people (myself included) suffering from weird lag spikes, and magic bullets.

The game will be fine one minute, but then suddenly bullets will 'disappear'
and not hit anything/one, and pings will spike all over the place. It has
recently become more constant to the point that it can be unplayable at
times. When using cg_drawlagometer 1 the green bar maxes out for ½second
with a couple of red bars then all returns to semi-normal. the bar is
constantly bumping up and down, far more than on any other server i've
played on. Its almost like clientside lag, but it happens for everybody at
exactly the same time..

Server doesnt appear to be doing anything unatural during play. Its running
Cent os 5. Server runs as its own user, and is completely unmodded. running
v1.7
