Does the problem happen at a regular period, like every
hour?  Are you using dynamic key management (IKE)?  If so,
are the keys being re-generated when their lifetimes expire?

And does the problem only happen with the broadband users?
Is the cable modem or DSL gateway at their home changing IP
address?
