Yes, this has been quite a ride. Basically, the OleDB approach through .NET is not working well. In order to have something that is reliable, you have to implement retry mechanism, which I did. But, I wouldn't recommand that approach. IAC, I'll be happy to share some of the related code/technique if that could help. If I recall correctly, this was mostly happening on read requests only.
