I've set up a little Gentoo server at work that I believe experiences exactly 
the same thing. I'll confirm tomorrow, but for the time being I'll list some 
details of how it's configured network-wise.

* one interface with multiple IPs
* IP fowarding enabled
* TCP packets with destination of port 80 redirected to localhost
* connection tracking for everything the kernel supports
* traffic shaping for both incoming and outgoing traffic

That's all that I can remember at the moment. If you could supply the same 
thing, we can use the similarities to hopefully track the source of the 
problem down.
