I'm running the site on two seperate servers on two seperate networks (dev and prod servers). The problem occurs on both. This leads me to believe the problem isn't related to any of those issues.	[reply]

Here's an idea, modify your apache conf to emit Etag header (it should do it by default), and then modify your conf to log the Etag sent `%...{Etag}o:`, so when you get a blank white page, you can look at the http headers (Live HTTP Headers :: Firefox Add-ons), and then look for that Etag/ip combo in your apache logs.

Thanks everyone for the advise. I'm going to try these things out and will post the outcome in the next couple of days. Unfortunately, this isn't my day job. I can only do this in my free time :)	[reply]

This leads me to believe the problem isn't related to any of those issues. Why? Your diagnosis of the problem so far has been "completely white page loads". No mention of HTTP header, content ... for all you know both machines have the same (or similarly) faulty firewall, have the same virus, go through the same faulty node (or multiple faulty nodes) on the network... unless you can diagnose it using your web servers diagnostic facilities (log analysis), and your browser, you can't rule out anything :)	[reply]
