Could the ARP cache on the server have finally timed out? Perhaps the
server had learned the MAC address of the old router for all remote
devices. This assumes the router was doing proxy ARP, which is the default,
and that the server was ARPing for remote devices, which happens under
certain configurations. Presumably the new router had a different MAC
address, but the server didn't figure this out until its ARP cache timed out.
