Thanks for the advice. I installed strace on the new server, and it has a thirty second delay on the flock call (opening the session file):

open("/path/to/session/sess_SESSIONID", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0600) = 20
flock(20, LOCK_EX)                      = -1 ENOLCK (No locks available)
fcntl64(20, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)        = 0
fstat64(20, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=13, ...}) = 0
pread64(20, "cpixUser|b:1;", 13, 0)     = 13
gettimeofday({1301331125, 622954}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1301331125, 623046}, NULL) = 0
brk(0x989d000)                          = 0x989d000
gettimeofday({1301331125, 623301}, NULL) = 0
pwrite64(20, "cpixUser|b:1;", 13, 0)    = 13
close(20)                               = 0

This has the correct session file name (ie "/path/to/session/sess_SESSIONID").

So then I installed strace on one of the older servers, to see what it was doing, and this is what I see where it is opening the session file:

open("\"M\235\240GU\21", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0600) = 9
flock(9, LOCK_EX) = -1 EOPNOTSUPP (Operation not supported)
fcntl(9, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)           = 0
fstat(9, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|040, st_rdev=makedev(113, 1114152), ...}) = 0
lseek(9, 0, SEEK_SET)                   = 0
read(9, "cpixUser|b:1;"..., 13)         = 13
gettimeofday({540876916, 1078020164}, {3221773391, 671636288}) = 0
sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, [])        = 0
lseek(9, 0, SEEK_SET)                   = 0
write(9, "cpixUser|b:1;"..., 13)        = 13
close(9)                                = 0

I don't know why it has the session file as this: "\"M\235\240GU\21".

So it looks like the flock(?) is taking 30 seconds to timeout on the new server, and failing instantly on the old ones. On the new server, I have a message in /var/log/messages that reads:

Mar 28 10:38:34 webServer kernel: lockd: server mainFileServer not responding, timed out

I get this message evertime I call session_start(). I have tried reloading the new server from scratch (CentOS 5.5, php 5.2.17, apache 2.2) and it is still doing the same thing.
