It looks like qmail was causing these problems. Very weird, but true. As soon as I quit qmail on the server, the interface came back up and hasn't been down since. I rebooted the machine, allowing qmail to start up again. The machine pings until qmail starts up, and then the interface goes deaf. I am now digging through qmail to see what is going on.
