Jason, this sound like some issues we have been exploring for a while 
(since 0.6.5 in fact) and that are present in 0.6.6 through 0.6.8 
post fixed (current stable version) and also still show in 0..6.9 
RC1.  We get the same sorts of messages and behaviors since 0.6.5 
that you do with the messaging server have problems staying in touch 
with the user server after some logins. We also get those region 
unavailable messages in 0.6.9 RC1.  We have a single 32 bit Windows 
Vista server for the URM (R=AI) services and the regions (Opensim.exe) server.

Justin CC and myself spent a lot of time in December trying to pin 
things down and could not.  Justin thinks it might be my DNS or 
host/network setup, but it does work fine on earlier versions of 
Opensim (before 0.6.6). We are hoping it will just "go away" when the 
refactored services in 0.7 are available.

Sorry I have no fixes to suggest.  But your different environment 
observation of what appears to be similar symptoms might help point 
te way to an underlying problem.
