It seems to have resolved overnight. Strangely, I looked at my command
history, and I definitely turned the firewall off two days ago, before
the last set of failures. I'm just going to assume I screwed up and the
firewall was still on for the last set of failures even though that
doesn't seem to be the evidence. :-) I've been around long enough to
know, it's usually my fault. ;-) Thanks for the help!

Is this a firewall problem, perhaps? Those packets translate to UDP
packets in bsd auth, and if there's some connection tracking going on,
it would probably reject a reply packet after 800+ seconds.
If that doesn't prove to be the case, take a look at a tcpdump of the
connection, to see whether the REP packet or its ACK is actually being
lost.
