My first thought would be that it could be either arp table related or 
switch mac table related.

After the firewall comes up, if you use the firewall console to ping 
back to the servers or use the servers to ping the inside of the 
firewall, you will force the mac & arp tables to be updated. If they 
then are accessible from the outside, you know that the problem is not 
nat/static/conduit related.
