IIS Stops serving randomly

We have a server that is used on our internal intranet and hosts 2 web sites
using IIS. Both sites are configured to use HTTPS using a certificate we
generated. We have found that IIS will stop serving these sites at random
times. If I log directly into the server, start IE, and browse to one of
the sites, once I have accepted the certificate's security alert dialog then
all access seems to be restored. Does any one have any suggestions as to
what to do to fix this?

TIA
Ron L
