Yea, my company has experienced a similar problem. It WAS traced down to the router. I was getting "malloc fail" which is memory allocation failure. Basically, a bad SIMM in the router. I replaced the DRAM and all is well now... The symptoms were exactly the same as what was described. I don't know what router you are using, mine was a Cisco 7206. If you're running Cisco IOS, try logging in, enabling, and doing a "term mon" from the vty. Look for memory errors or any other weird errors going on on the router. Also try a "show mem alloc fail" command. That'll show you if you have any memory failure history.
Aside from that, are you running anything across NFS? I found some quirky things when dealing with my mail server cluster and NFS...
