It turns out that it was an issue with load balancing. The client had decided that they wanted to setup their own OS-level load balancing, so I had disabled it in Apache/Tomcat setup. Apparently, when they applied the patches to the servers, this must have affected their load balancing. When I restored the Apache/Tomcat load balancing, all was fine.
Thank you for everyone's suggestions on this!
