Good thought. However, it consistently happens to only one host, doesn't
seem to correspond to having moved that host to another side of the
firewall, and both the client and the backup server are on the same
broadcast domain.

That said, it's at a remote location and I can't trace the cabling myself,
so it's possible there's a switch or something which is a bit more 'clever'
than it should be, and is causing this.
