I had the same problem with a HOST of sites. Since my network topography looks something like:
| machine 1 | machine 2 [internet] <---> [gw box] -| machine 3 | machine 4 | machine 5 and I was running Apache on one of my machines, I decided to use Apache's mod_proxy and set my windows boxes[1] to proxy through it.
After that, I've never seen another hangup. I should mention that hangs don't exist in the 2.0.3x kernel that RH5.2 is shipped with.
Its definately the kernel. Definately.
[1] where I was experiencing the hangs.
