So are those VRDB and VLDB files in /vice/db on both servers identical?

Venus probably comes up before the servers do and if it doesn't have
/coda cached or is unable to resolve the server names it will fail to
mount and do other weird stuff.

I personnaly would be interesting in a raw tcpdump from the client
and/or servers for all traffic on ports codasrv and codasrv-se of that
'ls -la hills' and the machine timing out. I'm guessing it's a network
related problem, either hostname lookups, multihoming or some routing
setup.
