I have seen this happen when I had a duplicate IP address on the LAN - 
every time the packet happened to hit the "other" box, it caused a RST
(because the other box didn't know anything about it).

You can see this if you look into the ARP caches of other boxes on the
same network - if the server IP address is alternating between different
MAC addresses, you have a double IP address.
