Hold time expired error

If you cannot ping across your IX, you need to look lower than BIRD to
figure out the problem.

I would try to answer questions like: Is ARP resolving IPs to MACs?  Is the
problem isolated to a single BIRD server only?  Is it only IPv4 problem
only, or IPv6 as well?

If you can answer some of these questions, you'll get closer to finding the
root cause, I expect.

Cheers,
Jonathan
