Several of us playing on my Pandemonium2 are having increasing difficulty connecting to this game, while not other games on mosehansen. Would restarting the game be likely to have any positive effect on this?
Also, we have one player who has the habit of staying connected for 24+ hr stretches. Could this be a contributing factor?

Some people report a positive effect when restarting, so you could definitely try if you want. The disadvantage of restarting is low in any case, the only thing that should happen is that the tine to next host is reset, so that the next hosting will be delayed.
As to the other, the server wouldn't care of you opened and used a 1000 sockets simultaneously for 24h... linux is doing a bloody amazing job in this area. The dominions2 program could have, but as it is closed source I'm in no position to tell.
If you want, you could alert Johan to the problem. He has earlier expressed interest in fixing this, but he was unable to reproduce it. You could ask if a running exec exhibiting the problem could help the diagnosis.
Hope it helps :-/
