I'd make sure that you have all the LAT patches and that you have the latest
server images in (all) your servers.  The DS200 server images that's been
distributed is BL33, but the current version if you have problems is 33D.
It is rumored that some of the intermediate versions fix "server hanging"
problems.  I don't know what the situation is with other servers.  Contact
software support with regard to Server Software in addition to Ultrix LAT,
they're not necesarily the same thing...
