I've had issues with HP, Dell, and Super micro in any higher amounts of broadcast traffic, especially ARP requests. The iDRAC 5 and 6 behave very badly in high broadcast environments, failing to respond to http and local ipmi (ipmitool via the smbus or whatever) interface. That's probably where I would start personally...anything over a couple hundred hosts in the same broadcast domain, especially if those are windows or osx hosts that love to jibber about CIFS and mDNS.
