Second ip down on vps several times per day

carlosx2
I have added an ip to my cpanel vps server. IT all went well, only now i am noticing that after a period of time the ip stops responding and is also not showing up in cpanel. After i restarted with service ipaliases restart they show backup on. when i run the ifconfig you can see that the ip is there "108.61.199.188"
root@server [~]# ifconfig -a eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 56:00:00:02:F2:35 inet addr:108.61.165.8 Bcast:108.61.167.255 Mask:255.255.252.0 inet6 addr: fe80::5400:ff:fe02:f235/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:177176 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:9829 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:12260961 (11.6 MiB) TX bytes:6413617 (6.1 MiB) eth0:cp1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 56:00:00:02:F2:35 inet addr:108.61.199.188 Bcast:108.61.199.255 Mask:255.255.254.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:00:B5:AD:21 BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1 RX packets:2010 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2010 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:384834 (375.8 KiB) TX bytes:384834 (375.8 KiB)

    Ip going offline every so many hours There is an issue with ip that i have not ever seen before and also our admins have never encountered. I hope someone has an idea how to solve it. It seems that the ip alias is being deleted some how. This is only on the ip that has been added to the server through cpanel. ifconfig show this
    eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 56:00:00:02:F2:35 inet addr:108.61.165.8 Bcast:108.61.167.255 Mask:255.255.252.0 inet6 addr: fe80::5400:ff:fe02:f235/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:974084 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:48314 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:74192471 (70.7 MiB) TX bytes:20545748 (19.5 MiB) eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:00:B5:AD:21 BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1 RX packets:16306 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:16306 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:3235267 (3.0 MiB) TX bytes:3235267 (3.0 MiB)
    The ip 108.61.199.188 is missing. I have added that ip through cpanel and at the time it was working, but after a few hours it went offline. When i use the command ipaliases restart it starts workign again right away and the ip is being added again
    root@server [~]# service ipaliases restart Bringing up eth0:cp1 [ OK ] Routing 108.61.199.188 [ OK ]
    Now ifconfig gives the correct output.
    eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 56:00:00:02:F2:35 inet addr:108.61.165.8 Bcast:108.61.167.255 Mask:255.255.252.0 inet6 addr: fe80::5400:ff:fe02:f235/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:994856 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:50116 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:75608333 (72.1 MiB) TX bytes:22420952 (21.3 MiB) eth0:cp1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 56:00:00:02:F2:35 inet addr:108.61.199.188 Bcast:108.61.199.255 Mask:255.255.254.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:00:B5:AD:21 BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1 RX packets:16498 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:16498 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:3280910 (3.1 MiB) TX bytes:3280910 (3.1 MiB)
