I saw this once and it turned out to be a faulty web load balancer. Could it be that you have some firewall or similar in the way? COuld it be that someone is either attacking your server, or using your IP in a spoof/blind attack and you get the fault outs? Can you provide a network sniff of traffic when this happens?
