Inexplicable Server Outage

Last night my server basically went down. It was pingable but all other requests were denied (ftp, http, imap, ssh, etc). The datacenter tech said there was a bunch of firewall error messages on the monitor before he rebooted on my request. The server was fine for about 6 hours before it went down again, this time a reboot failed to bring it back up.

Any suggestions before we do an os reload?

Also, more importantly, does anyone know of a service along the lines of rack911 or linux-tech.net (both are unavailable right now) that may assist us today?
