About 12:31am CST on Friday, and it seems my Xenode is dead to the world. Can login through LISH and do outgoing connections, but anything going in isn't working.

Huh... Mine's still up, and doing a lot better than it has been. Are you on host 56 or 57?

Oh, and I think you mean 12:31 CDT, unless you waited an hour to post about it.

Seems a reboot fixed it, but did notice this in dmesg.

Well can't find the exact message, but it was very very very similar to:

here it is:

Setting up networking...done.
Setting hostname to 'thedarkcitadel.com'...done.
* /etc/network/options is deprecated.
Setting up IP spoofing protection...done (rp_filter).
Enabling packet forwarding...done.

done.
