So, I (well, actually one of our operations guys) figured out what the problem was... Someone had enabled the 'iptables' service (Linux Firewall) on our Apache box (unbeknownst to me), and it was parsing all the packets (even though it never hit a filter rule). So with the massively increased network load, it eventually just started dropping packets for a while.
Disabling the iptables service completely solved the problem. Thank you all for giving me so many things to check and test - I will use all of your input for expanding my knowledge of JMeter and testing systems in the future. -- Robin D.
