[erlang-questions] EPMD question

[Erlang Tech]

Good day everyone

we are noting and interesting situation on one of our servers.  We have
an erlang cluster with the application distributed over multiple
servers.  

When we do a netstat we see a lot of the following on one specific
server:

tcp        0      0 10.27.103.12:epmd           10.27.103.80:52873
TIME_WAIT   
tcp        0      0 10.27.103.12:epmd           10.27.103.80:48273
TIME_WAIT   
tcp        0      0 10.27.103.12:epmd           10.27.103.80:38921
TIME_WAIT   
tcp        0      0 10.27.103.12:epmd           10.27.103.80:59294
TIME_WAIT   
tcp        0      0 10.27.103.12:epmd           10.27.103.80:58333
TIME_WAIT

my question is what could be causing this multitude of connections to
epmd from that one specific server.  My understanding was that epmd
would only require a single connection, 
to communicate between the two epmd server instances.

The one server has 4 erlang nodes running, and the other server has a
single erlang node running (mostly yaws).

Erlang version R14B03.

Thank you
