Ahh...Interesting idea! My program that checks the servers does indeed do server queries (usually a good thing) and reboots them after about 30s (also usually a good thing). However, considering the lockups sometimes take >30s, I wouldn't be surprised if you were right. I'll continue to monitor for if anyone has any other ideas, and try upping it to >60s instead :)
